Calle 13 Goes Hawaiian With Violent New Video

By Michael Lopez

Last week we mentioned how Calle 13's Residente firmly believed in adding political messages to his music. And judging by the group's latest video, he's definitely sticking to his word. "Muerte en Hawaii" is packing in tropical grooves, beachside settings, and a hail of gunfire!

Interestingly, the musical portion of "Muerte" is actually rather soothing. There are acoustic guitar strums, gentle vocals, and even some slow-paced whistling. But the accompanying clip takes that laid-back vibe and gives it a hardcore kick in the ass!

As Residente and his girlfriend walk lovingly along a Hawaiian shore, bullets and bombs begin to explode. There are gory scenes of shotguns, bodies on the beach, and a violent encounter with an unusual assassin.

Who exactly is the figure causing all of the death and destruction? That's actually the most interesting part of the video. We won't spoil it here, but let's just say you may want to buy “dolphin-safe” tuna after watching it!
