Kanaku and the Tiger It can be considered one of the most experimental proposals in contemporary Peruvian music. Their compositions always involve risky mixing techniques, and their sound is difficult to classify. One day they surprise us with a nostalgic acoustic track, and the next they unleash a variety of percussion instruments and employ unexpected technology to abruptly change direction. Their aim is to break boundaries and not get stuck in labels.
With that premise, they present their new video. Burn, burn, burn, In the video, set to the song's eerie rhythm, the editing creates a series of different shapes and colors, while each band member adopts a comical, zombie-like role, moving erratically in front of the camera, aiming to evoke a mixture of despair and bizarre pleasure. The clip is a nightmare whose ending leaves a strangely joyful aftertaste. In short, as some might say, they're a bunch of oddballs whose dark intentions remain a mystery.
Kanaku and the Tiger isn't easy to digest, that much is clear, but their effort to differentiate themselves and find their own path is a brave decision that results in good and curious songs, accompanied by confusing and funny videos. Someone had to break the monotony, right?.
