this video for El Guincho's steel drummed, psyche-tropical trip into the human cosmos is actually a trailer for director Nicolás Mendez' upcoming film. starting out as a parody of a Carl Sagan documentary, this trailer/music video quickly takes a turn to inexplicable mayhem in the fashion of Alejandro Jodorowsky... WIN WIN!!!

EL GUINCHO, aka Pablo Díaz-Reixa is one strangely amazing dude who, growing up on the Canary Isles was starved for 80's pop culture. he was just "a homeboy, who didn't know about much except the beach and the sea." but he found a talent for music, and nurtured it in Paris and Barcelona. Young Turks / XL just released his 2nd album "Pop Negro," which he mixed with Jon Gass (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston)... check him out:
⎯ 10.06 - live show @ La Cita's Mucho Wednesdays
⎯ 10.07 - dj set @ the Standard with Sébastien Tellier
⎯ 10.08 - live show @ Filter magazine's Culture Collide
