Naughty Boy

The song was released on 17th May 2013

The narrative of the story is a remake of the story of Wizard of Oz (representation)

‘The music video deliberately alludes to the story of the Wizard of Oz in an effort to conceal the legend from those unfamiliar with it.’

This music video revolves around a word of mouth Bolivian legend from the 19th century and shows a concerned deaf boy who fled his home since his father was abusive by raising his voice all the time when the child is just sitting innocently by the window...

The narrative then shows the boy living on the streets for a few weeks but then discovers his special talent of perceiving people's troubles, which he can heal by screaming which is said to be as loud as an earthquake and a tornado.

Furthermore, the boy finds an old man who is being stoned by villagers while being taunted and ridiculed. By screaming, the boy resolves the situation and revives the old man's heart.

Together, they meet a disfigured man who was abused, considered a leper by society. The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by a demon because he didn't worship him, and abandoned the society where the demon resided. The demon is called 'El Tio' and he is considered as the Lord of the underworld, to whom mortal people offer gifts to him in order to be protected by him.

The prophet said anybody who could hear the demon would fall under his control. He told them the demon could be found in desert, where there once was a town in which people worshipped the demon and he cursed them to kill themselves. All together, they go to the place where the demon should reside.

They arrive at a mine where the demon is supposed to be but everybody could be cursed who is able to hear the demonic curses, thus the boy alone only could go to the demon and over voice him with his scream to stop him for cursing others

The video was made in Bolivia, a crowded poor country with need of help.
