Within the Bogota rock scene, and surely in other Latin American music scenes as well, there is a lack of economic resources. and the almost total disappearance of patrons who give money to support art (Or the laziness of some, as our grandparents would say), some invent ways to attract attention and use whatever they have on hand to present their songs in eye-catching clips that pique the viewer's curiosity. Well, history repeats itself this time with The Cables.
This trio, based in the Colombian capital, presents Girl mp3, showcasing their laid-back punk sound and their acid-humored lyrics which remind us of certain compositional stages of Local Time and similar proposals from the nineties. His video, made in stop motion, takes place in a warehouse full of garbage bags, with some real and toy musical instruments as distractions, and a blonde girl, who through editing becomes a hairy drummer. It's a great gathering of friends who lose their inhibitions in front of the camera. And they take advantage of the situation to make their fans laugh. The result is funny, even overlooking the lip-sync issues (difficult to resolve frame by frame), and it serves as a good introduction. It won't be among the videos of the year, but it will allow them to get their music out there, attracting attention for their cheerful, on-screen attitude.
