Monday Morning Musica : Calle 13 Latinoamérica

As some readers may know, I have a love/hate relationship with Calle 13. Sometimes they are so on point with their message and yes they always can get you to move your culo, but sometimes they border on gross objectification and misogyny.

Just in time for Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, the Rican duo has released a new video for their single, Latinoamérica, off of their Entren Los Que Quieran album and as featured in their documentary Sin Mapa.

I found the editing beautiful and the video very moving as it shows both the diversity of Latin America but also some of the basic rituals and life milestones we all share.
I also appreciated the voices of of mujer legends of Latin American music, Susana Baca from Peru, Totó la Momposina from Colombia and Maria Rita from Brazil.

Enjoy.
