Whoa. The new video for Bomba Estereo's "Ponte Bomb" seems vaguely like my childhood nightmare/dream—low-budget background visual effects (a faithful nod to the original) mixed with oversized stuffed unicorns, Princess neckline mini frocks (with a ruffle overlay!), Wiffle Ball bat-as-microphone, and big demon Muppets dancing to Technotronic’s classic "Pump Up The Jam." Pretty much all the contents of my eight-year-old brain spilled out in a dizzying array on the screen. The video is a collaborative effort with Barcelona-based graffiti artist, Chanoir, and the song is just one of the many jams worth pumping on the group's recently released Ponte Bomb EP.
