The Puerto Rican-born, Miami-bred Tego Calderon has blazed his own trail in the reggaeton scene since the appearance of his debut EL ABAYARDE in 2003. His third effort, 2007's EL ABAYARDE CONTRAATACA, follows in the footsteps of his sophomore release, THE UNDERDOG, by tweaking traditional reggaeton with mixed-genre experiments, including a greater emphasis on salsa. Those seeking the familiarity of run-of-the-mill reggaeton may be disappointed, but listeners with a taste for something new will appreciate Calderon's musical ambition.

Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.52) - "[A] combination of classic hip-hop's reverent reconfigurations and up-to-the-minute electronic grooves, which wind up making this one of the most ambitious and rewarding albums of the year, in any genre."
