Background
"Bandoleros" is one of the songs that brought latin hip hop airplay to the United States. It has both Don Omar and Tego Calderón talking about the reggaeton genre, and how they are at this point in their reputation. Tego Calderón talks about his respect for Tempo, who was in jail and got a lot of haters, and eventually regained respect among other rappers. Omar told ''Billboard'' that he wrote the song in 2004 at a time in his life where he was receiving negative publicity. He went on to say that Calderón was the only musician in his genre that stood by his side during his judicial process in Puerto Rico.Music video
