Residente attended the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, where he obtained a master's degree in art, while Visitante continued refining his skills as a musician, directing bands Kampo Viejo and Bayanga.

== Musical career == thumb|left|Visitante performing in Nicaragua in 2009 === Calle 13 === Visitante has been a musician most of his life, but it was not until 2004 that he began making music with his stepbrother, giving the band the name Calle 13.<ref name="Allmusic" /> The stepbrothers hosted their music on a website, and began searching for a record label in order to release their music commercially. After sending demo tapes to White Lion Records, the duo was offered a record deal.<ref name="Allmusic" /> The duo gained recognition for their controversial song "Querido FBI", which responded to the killing of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, a militant activist in the Puerto Rican independence movement.<ref name="New York Times" />

Cabra chose his stage name "Visitante" because that is how he had to identify himself to the guard every time he returned to his brother's house in Trujillo Alto.<ref name="divinity">{{cite web |author=Divinity.es |title=Por qué nos gusta René de 'Calle 13' |url=http://www.divinity.es/2011/11/12/por-que-nos-gusta-rene-de-calle-13/ |date=12 November 2011 |access-date=12 March 2012 |archive-date=11 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511100245/http://www.divinity.es/2011/11/12/por-que-nos-gusta-rene-de-calle-13/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Visitante's influences come from numerous musical genres.

After the band became known world-wide, and obtained multiple recognitions, Multi Viral was released, an ambitious album that took a year to record and whose production was made almost entirely in La Casa del Sombrero, Eduardo's production label.

It functions by CABRA creating a new track live on his YouTube profile and then airing it through his SoundCloud profile. He invites people to download it and encourages them to add to the production through acapellas (voices), instruments or any type of session added to the track.

Participants have a deadline to submit their music. In the following days, CABRA makes a detailed review of the submitted materials, evaluating the combination of ideas, aesthetics and genres in order to select several singles and produce an EP.
