Revolucion 13 is the second full-length album by Tribe of Gypsies, a Latin rock band based in the San Fernando Valley, California, USA. It is the first recording with the Native American singer Gregg Analla (ex-Seventh Sign, 9.0) on lead vocals.

After the vocalist Dean Ortega left to front his own project, Revolution Child, the remaining members of Tribe Of Gypsies wrote, rehearsed and recorded all of the music for their new album instrumentally, cutting tracks live in the studio with the full band. Months later they were put in touch with the singer Gregg Analla in New Mexico whose band, Seventh Sign, had just broken up. Analla went to Los Angeles after he was sent some tracks to work on at home and recorded his vocals at Warrior guitarist Joe Floyd's studio, completing the album.

Musical guests on Revolucion 13 include performers from the Nothing Lasts Forever mini-album, the Downset vocalist Rey Oropeza and keyboard players Greg Shultz (Driver, Joshua), as well as Ray Rodriguez who became the band's full-time keyboard player.
