"With this people will understand, on a visual level what
we had in our heads and in our hearts", commented Pato.
"We had the opportunity of working with the best computerized
image studios here in Mexico for this visual adventure produced
by Control Machete. An album which can be heard and seen...
13 impressive new videos on a DVD (produced by Arte Tobboggán)
form an integral part of the album. Videos which revisit
each theme, placing them once again at the forefront.
Toy
and Pato now take control to a new stage, a new era in their
life defined as uno (Toy), dos (Pato): bandera. A personal
interpretation by the band in relation to the title of the
album. Part of that bandera is formed by Randy (Molotov),
Natalia Lafourcade, Homero (Inspector), Erick Wilson (Sublime/Long
Beach Dub All Stars), Blanquito Man (King Chango), Anita
Tijoux (Makiza), Los Caballeros del Plan G y Sekreto among
other invited guests. Each and everyone of them form part
of this great project in one way or another.
Bien,bien
, title of their first single, currently occupies top spots
in Mexico's popularity charts, giving way to the start of
this new phase for Control Machete and paving the way for
a new era of Latin hip-hop.
