Salsa masterpiece - shake your ass AND your mind, as Willie & Rubeń explore themes like media fakery, crime & urban decay, Latin American unity, and having a good time. Pedro Navaja (their reimagining of The Threepenny Opera/Mackie Die Messer) is the only song I know of that has a film adaptation. (I don't mean a music video, I mean someone a feature-length film based on the song!)
