BARRIO SCIENCE (Music Video) – VIVA MESCAL
Updated: Oct 5, 2020

“fresh off the tragedy / intro the triumph
and vice versa so check the barrio science”
This video is ambrosia for heads imo.
The frame of the video as a flashback from Grandpa Mescal is clever and fun.
The actual content is the kind of chill good day shit I just eat up.
“live from the Mexican-American Mecca”
Viva Mescal himself produced the song, “we recorded the entire beat live. No rehearsal. No takes. It was created in a jam session. I made the hook on the spot. Put the verses in later but 90% made the same night.” Cal S Thetics on keys, Drunk Nomad on drums, Piano Black on guitar, Drew on bass and Vero Rosa on vocals. I look forward to more sunny ass experiments in this vein from Mescal and company.
