On this wickedly clever manifesto, Calle 13 portray the dons of reggaeton as crybabies and sex-obsessed dolts who’ve been harrumphing over the exact same beat since the craze erupted in 2004. Lest he be seen as just another hater, the duo’s fast-talking satirist Residente (30-year-old René Pérez Joglar) marches reggaeton to the high road—his commentaries about the harshness of life in Latin American barrios resemble those of the great singer Ruben Blades, one well-deployed guest here. The album title translates as The Ones Left Behind Are Coming With Me and the stated goal is to “plant a seed in a couple of hollow heads,” but after a few tracks, you get the sense that this snapping, highly addictive amalgam of funk and folk song, hip-hop and Old World cumbia will reach quite a bit further. Consider reggaeton redefined.
