“Hotel Nacional”: Gloria Estefan’s New Music Video features Lindy Hop, Electro-swing, and the Kitchen Sink

Posted on February 11, 2012 by

 

Still not sure how I feel about this music video by Gloria Estefan.  I like electro-swing, lindy hop, and b-boying, so in theory I should love this.  The "Rocky Horror Picture" references are mostly lost on me, but I'm told they are there.  And the burlesque, glam-Paris look is well done.

Still, it feels like the pop diva is just throwing a lot of cultural references against the wall and hoping something will stick.

    The video would be OK if it wasn’t trying to carry off a mediocre tune. There’s no really strong hook in there.
