Los Negretes - Puta Ciudad

More guitars, but the trumpet's what makes this one for me. The trumpet and the tambourine. I think they give it that tropical swing-band feel. But it's got a rock-and-roll aesthetic, right down to trashing the double bass and falling off the roof.

The band's Mexican, singing in Spanish, about "this damn city". I love how it sounds like something you might hear played in a cantina, only better. Much better.

The stunning video is from the ever-astounding Blogotheque series
