Venezuela's favourite ska band Desorden Publico came to London to play a show in 2005 and decided to make this video of a Derek Harriot number. For some reason they also decided to feature the distinctive double-decker buses of the capital.
Sadly, it was 7th of July and the London tube and buses were hit by suicide bombings that very same day.
The band finished the video but the gig was cancelled and their tour over. This excellent cover of a ska classic appears on their 2007 album: "Estrellas del Caos".
The video was filmed and edited by Ignacio Crespo.

Russell Excelente blog!
Soy el videomaker que realizó este proyecto, el hecho fue que tras los ataques y la cancelación del concierto en Cargo, les propuse a los DP continuar con el plan del video pero improvisando y grabando todo lo que pudieramos desde Shoredicth hasta Camden Town, grabamos en double deckers considerando que era una reafirmación a la vida, la manera mas positiva de enfrentar semejate amenaza a la paz de los londinenses. Lo hicímos en 4 horas, espero remasterizarlo y subirlo como Dios manda en un futuro.
