Calle 13 is a band formed by two stepbrothers, noted for its eclectic musical style, often using unconventional instrumentation in its music. The band is also known for its satirical lyrics as well as social commentary about Latin American issues and culture. For their work, the group has won nineteen Latin Grammy Awards. They hold the record for the most Latin Grammy wins. They have also won two Grammy Awards.
This cover is an expectation for the Grammys, considering they have five nominations. To illustrate this point I choose a photo of Residente (René Pérez Joglar) extending the hands with fits perfectly of the idea of them toying with the award.
Their work Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo was nominated in five categories for the 2009 Grammy Awards, winning all of them, including ‘Album of the Year’, ‘Best Urban Album’, ‘Record of the Year’ and ‘Best Alternative Song’ for the hit single “No Hay Nadie Como Tu” along with Café Tacuba, as well as ‘Best Music Video (in Short Format)’ for “La Perla” featuring salsa legend Rubén Blades. The cover happened to be true to their future.
