I came across this video while surfing the “Spain” page on Facebook. It’s hilarious and shows how transgressive culture is, particularly in the age of the Internet. White kids in the South dancing like black and Latino inner-city kids in Los Angeles, all being watched via Internet by various nationalities in Spain.

The kids in this video are “krumping/crunking“, which is a style of hip-hop dance popularised in Los Angeles, based on music from Southern rappers in the United States.

Dave LaChapelle’s documentary Rize focuses on this kind of music/dance. (Ironically, I frist saw the documentary on Canal+ in Barcelona.)

Whatever.

This video is hilarious and endearing at the same time!

(By the way, for those of you not as old as I am, the reference to “White Men Can’t Jump” is from the 1992 movie of the same name. It scares me to think that that Carlos was 3 when this movie was made, and I was his age!)
