Reggaeton stars want to sue Venezuelan candidate

11:56 H | Topics: Celebrities - Music - Politics - Venezuela

1134514388_ss_calle131.jpgGrammy award-winning Calle 13 is looking to sue Hugo Chavez's rival for the presidency of Venezuela, Manuel Rosales. According to the reggaeton stars, Rosales used their song "Atrévete-te" without their permission during his campaign events:

“The use [of the song] may lead to serious legal consequences for whomever is using it," the group's attorney Juan Dalmau told Puerto Rican daily "El Nuevo Día" in today's issue.

"Calle 13's position is clear: cease and desist," said the attorney, who also sent a message to the Venezuelan consulate in Puerto Ricos stating the position of the group and its representatives.

Meanwhile, Rosales' PR guy is biting back, saying that the song was "inspired" by the Calle 13 hit but isn't the same, and adds that the song was performed by Venezuelan musicians.
