"Fiesta de Locos" (English: Party of Crazy People) is the fourth single by Puerto Rican Hip-Hop duo Calle 13 from their third studio album Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo, released originally on September 30, 2008 as a promotional single but back later it decided that was the fourth single from the album.[1]
Inspiration[]
This song is directly influenced by Emir Kusturica[citation needed], whose band Calle 13 had the chance to watch live in a concert in Buenos Aires. In an interview for Spanish newspaper El País, singer Residente claims that watching the band live was enough for him to "hallucinate"; both him and his brother Visitante claimed to have the basic structure of the song written later that night at the hotel they were staying.
Lyrical content[]
The song is based around two people, possibly in a mental institution, and it is like having a party of crazy people. As it seems like on the single's cover, the duo appear to be patients at a mental institution.
Music video[]
The music video was part of a Calle 13 concert, filmed on April 17 at the stadium GEBA on Buenos Aires, Argentina and premiered on August 28, 2009 in music channels.
