Revolucion 13 is the second full-length album by San Fernando Valley, California-based Latin Rock band Tribe of Gypsies. It also marks the debut of Native American artist Gregg Analla (ex-Seventh Sign, 9.0) on lead vocals.

After parting ways with vocalist Dean Ortega who went on to front his own project, Revolution Child, the remaining members of Tribe Of Gypsies went into writing and rehearsal mode and would record all the music for their new album instrumentally, cutting tracks live in the studio with the full band. Months later they were put in touch with New Mexico-based vocalist Gregg Analla whose band Seventh Sign had just broken up. Analla made his way out to Los Angeles after he was sent various tracks to work on at home and laid down his vocals at Warrior guitarist Joe Floyd's studio completing the album.

Musical guests on Revolucion 13 include Nothing Lasts Forever alumni, Downset vocalist Rey Oropeza and keyboardist Greg Shultz (Driver, Joshua), as well as Ray Rodriguez who would become the band's full-time keyboard player.
