Review

Song summary:

The Puerto Rican band Calle 13 released “Ojos color sol”, a new single from their 2014 album “Multi_Viral”, in which Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez participates. With a video in which the Mexican Gael García and the Spanish María Valverde act.

Song emotion:

"Sun-colored eyes" are a quite romantic and beautiful theme 

René Pérez, the singer of Calle 13, explained in a statement that the song's lyrics, which were largely written in Cuba, refer to the eyes of a person who do not need sunlight to shine "because the beauty of the world” enlightens them. n the middle of the song, this person's eyes begin to illuminate a world where beauty connects from another perspective, where chickens moo and cows cackle, explained the singer, known as Residente.

This song alludes to a poem written by a man to her partner in which he tells her that on a dull and gray day he was but when she opens her eyes, everything changes, the world lights up and he becomes happier.

About the video:

The power of a kiss made a video. From the simplest sensations that this contact awakens, to the most internal and external, the metaphor of change that it can represent.

It was directed by René Pérez Joglar (Resident) and Kacho López. The theme was composed and performed by Calle 13 and Silvio Rodríguez. It is a story: a kiss that loses the sense of time and transforms and disrupts everything while turning the natural into the supernatural. That is the concept created by Pérez Joglar for the video Ojos color sol, which premiered on July 29, through the link on the Calle 13 VEVO channel.
