Draco - Paraíso Prometido

Difficulty: Newbie

Puerto Rico

El puertoriqueño Draco Rosa, o Draco para dejarlo corto, canta sobre un paraíso prometido que se ubica en algún lugar del mundo. Tienes que ir allí, dice la canción. En la guitarra, Draco se acompaña con una serie de instrumentos de cuarda que crean un efecto un poco intimidante. Parte de este video fue grabado en el rancho del cantante… lo que nos hace preguntarnos ¿Será que ese paraíso prometido se parece a una isla tropical?

Calle 13 - Pa'l norte

Difficulty: Adv-Intermediate

Puerto Rico

Viewer Discretion Advised

Calle 13 joins up with Cuba’s Orishas to sing a paean to those pobres who hike pa’l norte (northward) in search of a better life. The first 13 captions are very colloquial and difficult, but after that this video is very clearly annunciated with lots of great vocabulary, so hang in there! This song is thought-provoking and catchy. No one will ever accuse Calle 13 of taking a weak position in rhythm or in politics!
