Tipa Tipo - Grifo (Video Oficial)

“Grifo” is the first single from the forthcoming Tipa Tipo album Cintas, to be released in March, 2024. “Grifo” is the Peruvian slang word for gas station, and the bilingual (English/Spanish) track is a playful portrait of friends meeting up at a local gas station as they face the end of the world. The song is a reflection on how life runs on death (“la vida corre sobre la muerte”) - the ancient bodies of dead animals become the fossil fuels we use to power our cars, just as the dead bodies in cemeteries give nutrients to the biggest and healthiest trees in the city. These heavy themes unfold within the musical backdrop of a tropical disco party, blending Peruvian chicha guitars, sultry vocals, and vibey electric pianos.
The “Grifo ”music video features the site-specific videodance duo CorpusMedio, a longstanding collaboration between Adele Fournet and the Peruvian choreographer Moyra Silva. “In our work, we explore movements that are inspired by and in dialogue with public spaces. For this video, we filmed in Brooklyn gas stations, cemeteries and a scrap metal processing plant, pulling from the aesthetic of non-narrative experimental films. We blend our choreography with a collage of archival footage to create a series of tableaus portraying the relationship between fossil fuel consumption, death, and human connection.”
