Calle 13 - Muerte En Hawaii

Avoid this if you're feeling lovelorn - it's Calle 13 rapping over a ukelele, to make the soppiest love song ever. The verses of the lyrics are this brilliant bizarre fantasy ("for you, I'll cross any border with no visa//And I'll get a proper smile from the Mona Lisa...") and the chorus is a brutally simple declaration of love.

The sound of it reminds me of my favourite ukelele mash-up too.

The video is spectacularly bizarre - it wouldn't be Calle 13 if it wasn't political. Their latest album, which Muerte In Hawaii is off, also has their most beautiful political song to date.

  1. Wow, I hadn't seen this or the music video for Latinoamérica before. They're both totally insane... but so, so brilliant!
