Calle 13 Returns to Puerto Rico for Historic Concert
Call Made for Oscar López Rivera's Freedom
The Twelfth Day..puerto Rican Genealogy History
On Saturday, December 13, more than 25,000 people, mostly youth, gathered to hear a two-hour concert by Puerto Rican and internationally acclaimed band, Calle 13. This was the first concert that Calle 13, composed of Rene Perez (El Residente), Eduardo Cabra (El Visitante), and Ileana Cabra (PG-13), has held in Puerto Rico in three years. It was indeed a homecoming moment. Using the stage as a forum, Rene called attention to the many socioeconomic and political issues facing the island. At one moment, he introduced Carlos Muñiz, the son of the assassinated patriot, Cuban-born, Carlos Muñiz Varela. In a letter addressed to the FBI, Carlos called for the relevation of the truth regarding the many political assassinations against the Puerto Rican independence movement. He also made a call for the release of the Puerto Rican political prisoner, Oscar López Rivera, which was received by thousands present with a resounding applause.

From thence I went to my office, where we paid money to the soldiers till one o’clock, at which time we made an end, and I went home and took my wife and went to my cosen, Thomas Pepys, and found them just sat down to dinner, which was very good; only the venison pasty was palpable beef, which was not handsome. After dinner I took my leave, leaving my wife with my cozen Stradwick, and went to Westminster to Mr. Vines, where George and I fiddled a good while, Dick and his wife (who was lately brought to bed) and her sister being there, but Mr. Hudson not coming according to his promise, I went away, and calling at my house on the wench, I took her and the lanthorn with me to my cosen Stradwick, where, after a good supper, there being there my father, mother, brothers, and sister, my cosen Scott and his wife, Mr. Drawwater and his wife, and her brother, Mr. Stradwick, we had a brave cake brought us, and in the choosing, Pall was Queen and Mr. Stradwick was King.
