Calle's new effort, Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo (The Ones Left Behind are Coming with Me), is more fun than its predecessor, with Café Tacuba and Ruben Blades the big-ticket guests this time, Tacuba serving as backing band and chorus on relatively straight love song "No Hay Nadie Como Tú." The seven-minute tropical jam "La Perla" finds Blades not only singing but rapping and holding his own, which may not surprise those familiar with the talk-singing on his own classic '70s albums. Visitante's compositions — calling them "beats" or "tracks" sounds ridiculously reductive — grab sounds from across the globe this time, including New Orleans second-line rhythms and Dixieland on "Gringo Latin Funk," early-'80s electro on "Electro Movimiento," African guitars on "Esto Con Eso" and a crazed Balkan whirl on "Fiesta de Locos."
Though his vulgarity remains unrestrained, Residente's apparently sick of being Latin culture's whipping boy: "Que Lloren" and "Ven y Critícame" are direct responses to critics from within the reggaeton scene and outside. (The chorus of "Que Lloren" translates "I love it when they cry"; the latter's title means "Come and Criticize Me.") Combining the fun of its debut with the follow-up's sonic adventurism, Conmigo is a genre-redefining — if not genre-shattering — triumph. Formerly Latin music's court jesters, Calle 13 have become its future kings.
