A few months ago I discovered saw the video "Lights Out, Words Gone" video by Bombay Bicycle Club a few months ago. It was very surprising, for me because this is they're an English band, and the song is totally "alternative, indie, and hipster." I still don't wanted to know how why they decided to mix this song with used images of Mexicans people dancing the Danzón for this music video.
I've found out learned that a few years after this video was recorded in Mérida, Yucatán; and a few years later, the band went to a place in Mexico City and visited a place where people danced like this. They said it was like "watching their video in real life." Who I don't know what gave them this that idea. It's something that I can see everyday in my country, and but because they puted in a video with this amazing song is accompanied by the Danzón, and the result it's like is magical.
