Recipe for an excellent Christmas video:
1. Start with the best Christmas song ever, El Burrito de Belen – a festive cumbia tune sung by a chorus of kids backed by nalga-shaking rhythmic accompaniment.
2. Give a group of Peruvians in the Andes access to a video camera and editing software.
3. Dress one of the Peruvians in a donkey suit and futbol gear.
4. Add one fed-up burrito.
5. Voila! You got the above video, bizarre and silly, my kinda Christmas entertainment.
It’s so donkey! 😉
(Ja!Ja!) Thanks Chimatli, for putting me in the holiday spirit.
As an ASS man myself, I loved the video 🙂
The website for that Peruvian mining town is pretty old school, but still informative. And lots of sparkling gifs! http://miananea.tk/
Around this time of year I usually get a xmas song from the movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians stuck in my head called “Hooray for Santy Claus!” They used to show it every year on the Family Film Festival on channel 5. Another bizarre and silly bit of xmas entertainment:
