"Fucking Papers"
There's not much in life I love more than Ojos de Brujo right now. Last summer while in Barcelona I heard them playing in a shop and I broken-english communicated with the woman behind the till to get the band's name, and then bought their album at the next availiable opportunity. Since then I've been hooked to the rhythmic hip-hop flamenco percussive aweosmeness. Listening to almost anything else after listening to them makes the other music sound so lifeless and dull. I've been desperate to see them live for a while now, and I've just got to.
Absolutely brilliant, no video can do them justice. Cemented them as the best band of the moment (well until Mad Caps come back). The drummers were immense, especially the guy on the Tablas and they all played with such passion I've never seen before from a band. When Marina came on stage dressed as she was, kicking rhytmically to the songs, I knew at that point she had to be my bride. Her voice was identical to the CD, best vocalist I've ever heard along with Bruce Dickinson. There were random small things that made it special like DJ Panko apologizing for the lack of a member of the band because of 'fucking papers for plane' and the guitarist doing the best robot dance you've ever seen. It's really hard to describe what it is I connect with in this music, perhaps it's my love affair with flamenco guitar and indian percussion, but whatever it is I get pulled right in and have the biggest internal yuffie smile ever. Why can't more bands be this great.
Pictures were done with a crappier cameraphone than mine, so blurryness. Their projections were amazing, can't tell in the pictures, but they frequently projected live images of the band playing into simulated backdrops of say waterfalls and psychelic weird light effects.
She was so excessively flamboyant, I was quite in love with her, a ton better looking in person than in videos online and she danced and kicked like a woman version of me.
The clash between gispy-flamenco (Marina) and hip-hop (guy in english old-man cap).
He raps awesomely for a Spanish white man, but then after Matisyahu anything is possible.
Kind of dodgy picture, annoying not to be able to get pictures of the percussionists.
They had flamenco dancers in on it, as well. Best part was the flamenco dancing and beatboxing battle at one point, each doing their thing trying to get the loudest screaming panties from the crowd.
The band seriously had that many members.

HAHAHAA YOU THOUGHT NO MORE CONDOMS
