Description:

One year to date of his last album, Tego Calderon is back with a new album, El Abayarde Contra-Ataca. Tego is without a doubt the most important Latin urban music artist. The new album is explosive filled with a fusion of rhythms that will make everyone dance. In this new album, Tego has captured the essence of what made him a superstar in his album debut, El Abayarde. His music blends hip hop with the poetic Caribbean rhythms transmitted by the early sounds of salsa music.

5Tego with another great album  Apr 14, 2008
I thought Contra-Ataca was awesome the first time I listened to it. However, I wanted to give it a few more listens before writing comments. After listening to this album several more times I have to say this is a very solid effort from Tego.

Abayarde, Enemy de los Guasibiri, and El Subestimado are all excellent albums. Contra-Ataca is an evolution of Tego's music and is just as good as the aforementioned albums. Reggaeton purists may be turned off by the many influences on Tego's past couple albums, but I really dig it. In fact, I wish Tego would do some more stuff down the road that incorporates more salsa and reggae.

There's plenty of pure reggaeton music out there, so it's nice to have something a little bit different. Tego is doing his own thing and it works well. Contra-Ataca has interesting beats and is well-produced. The lyrics are also good. Much like Wyclef and The Roots, Tego has a ton of creativity and is not afraid to break off from the mainstream to try something fresh. I look very forward to listening to his future albums.

3Muy poco, muy diferente.  Mar 25, 2008
Los albumes pasados de Tego han sido originales y a un nivel mas alto que lo que los otros artistas del reggeaton sacan. Tego se preocupo demasiado por experimentar con ritmos diferentes en este album, que se olvido incluir el tipo de cancion que lo hizo popular. Las canciones de salsa de sus pasados discos siempre me habian gustado mucho, en este no incluyo una. Tradicional a lo Bravo, con su uso de musica Colombiana, no fue tan buena como remixes pasados tales como Lloraras.

Este album es como si Tego le hubiese quitado las mejores canciones de Underdog, y lo hubiese sacado con solo 13 canciones. O sea esta regular, y para que un album de Tego sea solo regular, es una pena de verdad.

1Can`t compete with "the underdog"  Dec 29, 2007
Not much tracks on it and it is not a bit as good as his former release "the underdog". Sorry, I hope he will soon release another good one.

1no good  Dec 21, 2007
no me gusto este ni el Underdog cd, esta en lo mismo pero este esta mas feo Tego que pajo? "tradicional a lo bravo" creo la mejor ,mucho hip-hop que suena de kindergarden

5wow, what an album  Oct 21, 2007
This is very much a change from his previous music. It is refreshing to see that he is expanding his horizons. Unlike the typical reggaeton musicians that sing about sex, Tego's lyrics on this album are enlightening and moving. He incorporates different muscic styles into this album in a flawless manner. I hope that other musicians in this genre follow his lead and and continue to expand the horizons of reggaeton by incorporating different styles into their music and compose some meaningful songs; Good reggaeton songs do not have to be only about sex. Tego, echa palante.
