Residente o Visitante is Calle 13's second album, released on April 24, 2007.

The album features a much more vulgar set of lyrics and includes the songs "La Crema" (released online Fall 2006 on LaCalle13.com) and "Tango del Pecado" (Calle 13's first single for this album). The second single of the album was "Cumbia de los Aburridos" and it peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot Latin charts. This marks the first of Calle 13's albums to have collaborations with artists such as Tego Calderón, La Mala Rodríguez and Orishas.

The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Albums at number 1 displacing Jennifer Lopez's Spanish album Como Ama una Mujer [1][2], and in Billboard 200 at number 52, selling about 12,000 copies in its first week.[3].

On November 8, 2007 Residente o Visitante received two Latin Grammy Awards, including Best Urban Music Album and Best Urban Song. They were also nominated for Album of the Year, and Best Short Form Music Video for the video of the first single "Tango del Pecado".

On December 6, 2007, Residente o Visitante received a Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Urban/Alternative Album", and in February 10, 2008 it won the award competing against Daddy Yankee's El Cartel: The Big Boss.

[edit] Trivia

  • The songs on the album were allegedly recorded in Puerto Rico and in other nations throughout Latin America and the American Hemisphere as part of a conscious effort by Residente to stay in tune with the local reality of those countries the duo has visited, hoping to learn local slang and street stories in the process.[citation needed]
  • Best Buy carries another special edition release of this CD that includes the previously unreleased track "Japón" and a remix of the song "Suave" from the first CD.
