Calle 13 Kicks It at Viña del Mar

25 Feb 2011Not having satellite television means missing out on the Festival de Viña del Mar en Chile. While some of the lesser known artists can be reminiscent of a bad American Idol audition video, when the stars come out on stage they really shine. Case in point Calle 13. And as much as I want to dislike some of their sexist messaging, there are times like two nights ago at la Quinta Vergara where they make you go hmm.
Not only did they call out homophobia, which has been in the headlines in Chile recently, including criticism at the Festival itself, but Residente, also had a message for the Mapuche written on his back. Now this last action, reminded me of Lady Gaga’s so called pro-DREAM act act where wearing a tee shirt = activism. But who knows if Residente’s body graffiti made people google Mapuche.
Plus, They performed with Inti-Illimani and the song Latinoamérica felt especially powerful in that place.

Calle 13 at Viña del Mar

Last night was the last night of the Festival de Viña del Mar. On Saturday night Calle 13 tore it up, even performing in the dark after all the tech people had left the ampitheatre in the Chilean seaside city. In classic Calle 13 style, they made their performance relevant by bringing in local performers to participate with them up on stage and by shouting out their support of the Mapuche struggle. They also defied the mainstream reggaeton movement by dancing onstage, not with the skinny booty shaking girls, but with real sized women.
