Mixing cultures A few months ago I discovered the video "Lights out, words gone" by Bombay Bicycle Club. It was very surprising for me because this is an english band and the song is totally alternative, indie and "hipster". I still don't know how they decided to mix this song with images of mexican people dancing "danzón". I found out that this video was recorded in Mérida, Yucatán and a few years later, the band went to Mexico City and visited a place where people dance like this. They said it was like watching their video in real life. Who gave them this idea? It's something that I can see everyday in my country and they puted in a video with this amazing song and the result it's like magic

Very interesting. Your English is great, the only correction I'm going to make is that "put" does not change in the past. Also, at least in US English, punctuation marks should always go inside the quotes, even though that may seem illogical to you. Oh, one more thing, names of languages and nationalities should always be capitalized.
