The last thing our Bolivian friends did was filmed on a mountain that looks like Mars, and they over-analysed a romcom in the previous video. So this minimalist video is a bit of a departure for them.
It's a sweet song - somehow it reminds me of The Moldy Peaches. If you want to see his more savage side, check out the videos of the expedition he did with his brothers into the Bolivian jungle to look for an undiscovered plane wreck. It's like the Blair Witch Project of exploration.

Andi - Tales That Are True
I'm biased: Joey and his brother Philip are probably the nicest people in La Paz. And so everything they make is music to my ears. Literally.
But they have good form - they made Excuse To Stay, which found its way onto nearly every mixtape I made last year (or at least, the ones I made for people I like)
They also go on amazing explore-ventures where they travel across Bolivia, being nice. They went to find a plane wreck in the Amazon. Joey has videos on his YouTube. I live vicariously through them.
This is Joey's side project - a country-flavoured epic sung in tight harmony, shot in the hills around La Paz (which incidentally look like one of the more inhospitable parts of Mars). It sounds like a country-and-western hymn, in a really good way.
You can show them some love by joining their facebook group. Only good things can some of it.

The Happy Nobodies - Excuse To Stay
If you don't like boasting, look away now, here it comes... I know the people who made this, and they're my friends and they're Bolivian and once they trekked through the jungle to find an plane which crashed decades ago. Seriously. I am not making any of this up. They are that awesome. (Also seriously good-looking. Just saying.)
Anyway, the song's radio-friendly swing jazz, with a video featuring my beloved La Paz, and it's worked itself onto half the mixtapes I made last year: it's a gem.
