Trotsky Vengarán for “Noche de Rock”.
Pretty cool, wouldn’t you say? The winners were the ones who focused on telling a story with humor and enthusiasm, not on creating a technically-complex video.
My congratulations to Trotsky Vengarán, and also to all the other nominees – the quality of the videos that were nominated this time was uniformly high.
In case you are yet to see it, this is the video for “Noche de Rock”.
The fifth (and final) nominees for a Graffiti Award are Uruguayan punk rockers Trotsky Vengarán (MySpace profile), with their “Noche de Rock” [Night of Rock]. The song’s taken from the album “Todo Para Ser Feliz” [Everything To Be Happy], and the music video features cameos from celebrated musicians like Dani Umpi and Rubén Rada.
A to-the-point music video that tells the aftermath of a night of debacle with wry humor, “Noche de Rock” is a good alternative to all the other nominees – they all more or less rely on special effects and fancy editing to get their stories told.
We’ll see what happens this Friday, when the Graffiti Awards ceremony is held.
Just to do a quick recap, the other four nominated music videos are:
“A Donde Van Los Pájaros” by Luciano Supervielle
“Antes del Fin” by Walter Bordoni
“Cadáver” by ReyToro
“Invierno” by Socio
