It takes all of the common stereotypes of Tijuana and turns them into a funny music video.bajajudy - 9-22-2007 at 07:53 PM

That is fabulous. I smiled through the entire thing. I loved the guy dancing with his dog. I am going back to watch again.
I know so little about Tijuana....Educating me about places I do not know well is one of the perks of being a nomad.Ken Cooke - 9-22-2007 at 07:59 PM
The elderly man in the German alpiner hat dancing was my favorite part! Makes me laugh every time!!
I found the trailer to the actual film (as opposed to the music video) online. It looks really interesting, but a little risque:

They are very popular, sell very well in Europe and Japan, the collective is made up of several "bands" and they all have their own style inside the
Nortec concept. Theres several other songs that are great, like "Trip to Ensenada" and others.

You have to wait about 7 more weeks for it to be released. The release date
is November 13, 2007...
The filmmakers wanted the film to have an authentic feel. Instead of using professional actors to play the parts, they felt the next best thing to
reality was having a person playing himself. For example, the police officers, gang members, prostitutes, c-ckfighters, and most importantly, Pablito,
are the same people in the film as in reality. They brought their own personality, their own words, inside the framework of the story.
When the production time came, a few of the cast members had mysteriously disappeared – at a time when many people were being kidnapped and murdered –
and the filmmakers had to reconsider their storyline. The filmmakers decided to base the story directly on the strong bond between Pablo and his son,
Pablito.
Having the actual character move and speak as themselves added a subtlety and honesty to the performance that would have been otherwise difficult to
find in an actor. The fusion between fiction and reality was a powerful one in which the actors played a huge role in the creative process, bringing
their individuality to the forefront, and placing this film in a genre of its own.
