''Entren Los Que Quieran'' (English: ''Enter Those Who Want to'') is the fourth studio album from Puerto Rican band Calle 13, released on November 22, 2010. Recorded in the wake of controversial events surrounding the group, the album contains more political lyrical themes not discussed on previous Calle 13 releases. It also expands upon the musical experimentation demonstrated in the group's albums ''Residente o Visitante'' (2007) and ''Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo'' (2008). The record features various stylistic elements in its compositions, including rock, ska, merengue, reggaeton, and Bollywood music. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the record's diverse musical experimentation. ''Entren Los Que Quieran'' impacted several charts internationally, peaking at number six on the ''Billboard'' Latin Albums chart and number 25 on the ''Billboard'' Rap Albums chart. The record spawned seven singles, including "Latinoamérica", which reached the top ten of both the ''Billboard'' Latin Digital Songs and Latin Rhythm Digital Songs charts. The record won a total of nine Latin Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. It was also nominated for a Grammy in the Best Latin, Pop, Rock or Urban Album category at the 2012 Grammys. ==Background and recording== Drawing influence from a more diverse array of musical styles than ''Residente o Visitante'' (2007), Calle 13 released ''Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo'' in 2008, which experimented with genres such as samba, candombe, and electronica. The album won five Latin Grammys at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2009 including "Album of the Year". The group generated controversy when vocalist/lyricist Residente was hosting the 2009 MTV Latin America Awards and attempted to inform the audience about a strike in Puerto Rico in protest of governor Luis Fortuño's cutting of thousands of government jobs, one of which belonged to Residente's mother. During the ceremony, he referred to Fortuño as a "son of a whore", which generated widespread anger towards the group.〔 Reflecting on the incident "I was upset, really upset. But I'm a little more strategic now - I want to speak the truth, but I don't want to diminish the merits of what I'm saying."〔 Calle 13 once again became the subject of debate when the duo traveled to Cuba in March 2010 to perform in front of the American embassy in the country. Before the show, a political prisoner had died in a hunger strike in protest of the Cuban government, and Cuban exiles in Miami criticized the group for performing at such a time.〔 Residente defended the performance, noting that it had been inaccurately reported and that "we said things that no artist had said from the stage, like 'here the people are in charge, and the government has to obey.'"〔 These events had a major impact on Residente's lyrical style and the subjects he planned to discuss on the new album: "What's making me more mature is not about my age, it's about what I'm seeing and living. I'm not saying things carelessly anymore. I'm thinking before I say them."〔 Recording sessions for the album took place at Playbach Studios and Música Satánica Studios in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as Circle House Studios in Miami, Florida. It was mixed at Circle House Studios and Zeitgeist Sound Studios in Long Island, New York.〔 The phrase "entren los que quieran" has been translated as "everyone is welcome".〔 Visitante explained that the title of the album means that "Everyone’s invited to enter. If you don’t want to, well don’t." Ed Morales of ''NY Daily News'' interpreted the album's title as "an invitation to like-minded Latino youth to a safe space for rebellion."〔 The album's artwork features illustrations of explosives; ''Billboard'' writer Judy Cantor Navas opined that this "simultaneously exceeded and parodied (13's ) reputation as provocateur". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Entren Los Que Quieran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
