A kiss that lost sense of time, that transforms and subverts all while turning the natural into supernatural. That is the concept created by René Pérez Joglar for the video "Ojos Color Sol" (Sun-colored Eyes) to be released on today through the link http://smarturl.it/OjosColorSolVideo in Calle13Vevo channel. It is starred by two internationally renowned movie figures: Mexican actor Gael García Bernal ("Motorcycle Diaries") and Spanish actress María Valverde ("The Weakness of the Bolshevik"), whose performance makes the lyrical voice transcend to images. The video was directed by René Pérez Joglar and Kacho López Mari.

When talking about the concept, René explained that, because the song is full of allegories and metaphors, he thought of many ideas, and after some time he finally came out with what he wanted; a video that complements the song, that doesn't distract the attention from the story narrated through the lyrics. "I focused on a kiss, that kiss that brings together physical sensations and intensity of emotions, changing the way we see everything around us. I wrote the script, including the camera shots, and sent it to Kacho. We discussed it and went ahead with it. Although I was in Spain during the shooting, and Kacho in Argentina, we always kept in touch. He would send me the filmed sequences, I commented on these, and in almost no time the video was shot, just as I conceived it."

René and Kacho agree that Gael and Maria are two very special talents. The subtleties they bring to the piece are felt throughout their cinematographic performance. Both fill the "frame" with energy without apparent effort, without artifice. "They are actors of the highest level. This makes the role of a director easier and more pleasant. It is important to point out the modesty and delivery they showed throughout the process. It was a true delight to share with both actors this process of creation and collaboration", said López Mari.

The song "Ojos Color Sol", produced and directed by Eduardo Cabra, a/k/a "Visitante", includes the collaboration of Cuban Trova Maestro, Silvio Rodríguez, and is considered by music critics as one of the most important of Calle 13's latest album "MultiViral", the first under their own label, El Abismo.
