Synopsis
Los Amigos Invisibles perform "Yo Soy Asi" with the irreverent attitude suggested by the song's title. The video presents the Venezuelan band in a playful, theatrical setting, using exaggerated styling, gender-bending costumes, and deliberately campy gestures to underline the track's message of self-expression. Rather than following a conventional storyline, it turns the performance into a cheeky celebration of individuality, matching the band's disco-funk groove with visual humor and a knowingly over-the-top presentation.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Yo Soy Asi" appears on *Super Pop Venezuela*, the band's 2005 album devoted largely to reworking Venezuelan pop songs from earlier decades.
- The track was selected as the album's first single even though it was less immediately dance-oriented than some of the other material. The band described the choice as a way to present a different side of its sound.
- The song was originally recorded in Venezuela in 1979 by the group Pepe S, also associated with the name PP'S in album credits and song listings.
- The arrangement gives the older composition an afro-house and electronic treatment, a significant change from its original post-punk context.
- The video's gender-bending humor became part of the song's live presentation as well. Coverage of the band's 2007 Caracas concert specifically noted that "Yo Soy Asi" was accompanied by the members' cross-dressing video.
- The official video was later published on the band's YouTube channel in June 2014, while the song itself had already been part of the group's repertoire for years.
