Mexico City, Mexico - Calle 13, a multi-grammy award winning band formed by stepbrothers René Pérez Joglar and Eduardo José Cabra Martínez, is serious about feeding the hungry.

The popular Puerto Rican duo gathered 48,500 lbs. of food during a recent concert in Mexico, according to multiple reports. Primera Hora reports that it was singer René Pérez Joglar’s appeal for aid on social media sites such as Twitter that helped them raise awareness and the food. The group similarly raised food for the poor in El Salvador in November last year.

Via his Twitter account, Joglar said that the 50,000 people who planned to attend the concert in the capital city were expected to take two lbs. of rice and two lbs. of beans in order to gain admission to the show.

Primera Hora also states the through a press release Joglar talked about the impact social media can have on good causes. The food raised will be distributed to disadvantaged communities in Mexico.

Mexican actors Diego Luna (Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights) and Gael García Bernal (Babel, A Little Bit of Heaven) also attended the concert. The two reportedly took a break from filming “Chávez: The Fights in the Fieldsque Filman.”

Recently Calle 13 linked up with Oscar-winning Argentine director Juan Jose Campanella for their latest music video, La vuelta al mundo. The video takes place in an office where all the employees are submerged in their routine except for a couple, who decide to break out of their rut and meet up with a fantasy world.

The song La vuelta al mundo, written by Residente (Joglar,) was inspired by the film Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn. It forms part of Calle 13's most recent album, Entren los que quieran, for which the duo won nine Latin Grammys.

Overall, for their work, the group has won nineteen Latin Grammy Awards. They hold the record for the most Latin Grammy wins. They have also won two Grammy Awards.
