En mi caso,quitarme el peso de la espalda tipo Pipila de tantas imagenes preconcebidas y conceptos hechos por mi y sobre mi. Que libertaaad aceptarse tal y como uno es! Respiro, vivo , sonrio… SOY.

Calle 13 loves his fans!!!

Calle 13 took home two Latin Grammy awards for Best Urban album and song, which they performed with Cuban rap trio, Orishas. Residente, who as late has been getting a little political and socially conscience, obliged to a fans request. Residente decided to give away his $200 pair of Addidas to a fan and ended up walking to the press room with just his socks. How cool is that!!!!
