Video + MP3: Los Niños Estelares- "Alegría Doctor Alegría"


Dr Lacxos has been a loyal ClubFonograma reader since its beginnings, and ever since he launched his tumblr DrLacxos De Este Lao, he’s been a great source of content (especially from his native Dominican Republic). Lately, he’s head over heels with Los Niños Estelares, which he calls his favorite Puerto Rican band. Let me warn you, these guys are hilariously demented, in the most bizarre way. Band members Dario Constain Reyes and Fernando Castro-Alvarez are like the clown cousins of Residente and Visitante, they even look like them. This video is only a chapter of what they got to offer, intrepid humor that actually works. This is no joke, towards the end of the clip I found myself appreciating the creative exaggeration of the music, lyrics and aesthetics. Think of them as a Tropical fusion of Calle 13, Tosh.0 and Flight of the Concords. “Ricardo Alegría atrapó a Héctor Lavoe cuando se tiró del edificio.”
