"Residente", is the first solo album by Residente, aka René Pérez Joglar, a Puerto Rican singer/songwriter/producer who has been scooping up awards for years as frontman of his band, Calle 13. His self-titled album seems to be hot off the presses; Amazon has the release date as 31st March 2017.
Am I really that cutting edge for once? Anyway, here are two excellent tracks:- ...... Spoiler for Guerra lyrics:
...... Spoiler for Desencuentro lyrics:

Oh snaps, I need to get that. I love Calle 13. Their sister won a Grammy for her solo album this year.

Move your 37 year old blond haired, blue eyed, sorry ass from Northeast Boston to San Diego 20 years ago and try not to get addicted to the hypnotic, rhythmic grooves of Hispanic music. Not gonna happen.
I love "Sweet Home Alabama", but come on now. Carlos was tripping his ass off during this entire performance. Teenaged Michael Shrieve

That Marc Ribot sounds really great, grindy; lots of cool guitar Looks like MR is following in Ry Cooder's footsteps; another guitarist seduced by the sounds of Cuba. I was 20 mins into the Marc Ribot album before I heard a word of Spanish, which is perfect by me; but let's see if you (and Chula with his instrumental offering) get into trouble when Zaqarbal comes back!

I'm probably stupid and this isn't even Spanish.
