Los de atrás vienen conmigo (English: The Ones Behind Are Coming with Me) is the third studio album by Puerto Rican alternative rap band Calle 13 and was released on October 21, 2008 by Sony Music Latin. This album is a bit more colorful than the previous, although dark humor continues to be the tone. The album has a fusion of rhythms the band discovered during their visits to several countries. They fuse rhythms of 'cumbia villera' native to Argentina, and rhythms of Balkan music. The album features collaborations with Rubén Blades, Café Tacuba, and Afrobeta.
Calle 13's self-titled debut album (2005) sold nearly 250,000 copies in the United States, but its darker follow-up, 2007's Residente o Visitante, sold just under 100,000 copies, despite receiving positive reviews and winning Latin Grammy Awards for Best Urban Music Album and Best Urban Song. The record garnered controversy for its religious and sexual overtones; vocalist/lyricist Residente reflected, "The problem with Residente o Visitante wasn't a bad word here or there, but the ideas. You can't erase an idea."
The album was recorded from July to August 2008 in various studios around the world including Playbach Studio in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Circle House Studio and Songo Sound Recording Facilities in Miami, Florida, Circo Beat Studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Warner Chapell Brasil in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Alfano Music in Panama City, Panama. It was mixed in the Circle House studio by Ivan Gutierrez and Edgardo Matta and mastered in Zeitgeist Recording Studios in Long Island City, New York.
