Video of the Day: Los Pericos

NOTE: We will be posting over the weekend to make up for the lack of entries this past week.

By far one of my favorite programs is a travel program entitled "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations." We have written before about the journeys of the renown chef and author author to Peru and the U.S.-Mexico border area. The most recent new episode had Bourdain travel to Argentina where he explored the country's frigid southern tip, accompanied gauchos, and explored Buenos Aires.

It is in the Argentine capital where Bourdain hung out with the members of well-known ska band Los Pericos. Aside from enjoying a spread of meat, cheese and wine the band regaled Bourdain and co. with their own signature music.

Hence, below is the music video for one of Los Pericos' best known songs - "Pupilas Lejanas." It's a perfect song to start the weekend with (video link):
