Synopsis

La Ley's "Hombre" combines performance footage with candid images of the band during its U.S. touring period. Rather than following a fictional storyline, the video presents the musicians in transit, backstage, onstage, and in quieter personal moments, creating an intimate portrait of the group behind its public image. The documentary-style approach complements the song's critical view of human ambition, war, abuse of power, poverty, and the failure of modern communication to bring people closer.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Hombre" was released in 1995 as part of La Ley's album "Invisible."
  • The video is built from footage recorded during the band's tour in the United States, giving it a more personal and observational style than a conventional narrative clip.
  • "Hombre" was one of five singles associated with "Invisible," alongside "El Duelo," "Dia Cero," "Cielo Market," and "1-800 Dual."
  • The song was written by Alberto Cuevas, with musical contributions from Cuevas, Pedro Frugone, and Rodrigo Aboitiz.
  • Its lyrics address war, political and social power, poverty, environmental damage, and the limits of technology as a means of communication.
  • The "Invisible" tour lasted close to two years and helped establish La Ley as an internationally visible Latin rock act.

Lyrics

Hombre que caminas
en la ruta de la grandeza,
vas cojeando como animal
Date vuelta y ve
que escupiste donde decĂ­a:
"no muerdas la mano que te da de comer"
A DONDE VAS?

Descubriste el fuego
para facilitar tu vida
y ahora lo usas para encabezar,
marchas de guerra,
abuso de poder demente
...
