Kenny Frankland directed this animation, illustrating a song by Justin Nation and his Caribbean friends, the rapper LogiQ Pryce and singer Drastic.

Vice visits with the diminutive Wendy Sulca, the biggest YouTube sensation of the Spanish-speaking world. At 12 years old, the Peruvian folksinger took the internet by storm with her hit single “La Tetita” (“The Tittie”), which exceeded 4 million online hits. Written by her widowed mother Lydia Quispe, the song is an ode to breastfeeding sung in the new Andean Huayno style. At 13, she followed up with a new hit single “Cerveza, Cerveza” (Beer, Beer) and the brutally honest track “Yo Soy Pobre” (“I Am Poor”). But despite being recognizable to all young Latin American internet users, Wendy still lives in the outskirts of Lima, in a shack on the side of a hill without running water.

Christians should not get hung up about rock’n’roll or bikinis. Chill.
At least, that’s the advice of Christian political activist Alfonzo Rachel, who explains that he has encountered some resistance from fellow believers upset over a new video by his band 20 lb. Sledge, featuring women in two-piece bathing suits, dancing, a pool party and — heaven forbid — the imbibing of ginger ale. H/T PJTV

Romanian animator Anton Octavian creates surreal graphics for music videos, in this case, “Last Mask” by a modern jazz, techno-oriented band called Brainkiller. It’s a truly international effort. The three-member band includes keyboardist Jacob Koller from Arizona, trombone player Brian Allen from Texas and drummer Hernan Hecht from Mexico City. Their music is distributed through Rare Noise Records, based in the United Kingdom.
