Maneja Beto "Ofrendas" Music Video

When my Austin Vida editor emailed me Maneja Beto's single "Ofrendas" all he wrote was "Get your Blue Stage on!" If you're read my Fun Fun Fun Fest 2009 coverage, you would know how much that made me laugh. And he was right. I did get my Blue Stage on the moment I first heard it.

Last night I saw Maneja Beto perform as well as El Tule and Este Vato at Beauty Bar last night for Austin Vida's showcase. Man, what a dance party. If you didn't go, you missed out. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. Like I told some friends, I felt like I was at a wedding. All that was missing was someone dancing with my grandma and a dollar dance.

Anyway, on Friday, Maneja Beto released their music video for "Ofrendas" at Rabbit's on East 6th street. As someone who was born and raised in East Austin and currently lives near East 7th Street and Pleasant Valley, it was nice seeing the familiar neighborhoods and businesses in the video. There are also some familiar faces as well from the Austin music scene. Pay attention to the janitor.

So check out the video and make sure you turn up the volume because you're going to want to get your Blue Stage on. ;)
