Do you guys listen to the music of this band? Sometimes, just for fun, I call them the Puerto Rican version of Gorillaz.

If you don't know who I'm talking about, here's a Wikipedia link to see who I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calle_13_%28band%29

I love the phat beats! I can't understand most of the lyrics, and suspect that I wouldn't like them as well if I could.

Of course you wouldn't understand the lyrics, because they sing in Puerto Rican Spanish. But don't worry, 'cause they are working on there next(and 5th) album, and they promise that they are gonna sing in English.

Honestly the guy is trying a bit hard to be far out there. Most people like that but I think he should try and ton it down a bit. Like saying one of the majors should take a drug test and other things to that nature towards people with power.

I am a huge fan of Latin Pop music, particularly the likes of Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Daddy Yankee and Pitbull.
