Look Inside Your Selfie.

Olita Del Altamar- Café Tacvba

I love this song and the music video! The band, Café Tacvba, is from Mexico, but the pan flute playing at the beginning of the song is all Peruvian. The music video was also shot in Paracas, Perú. So proud that Latin American music is making such big waves in the U.S.. I love my heritage. ¡Viva Perú!
