Ottoman Slap creates an exotic fusion of Middle-Eastern and Balkan beats. They have recently released a brilliant new video for the song, Aquel Ruido.

Ottoman Slap’s new video

Ottoman Slap’s new music video could be mistaken for a short art film. It is set in a migrant camp where everyone seems to be miserable (at least, at first). A troupe of musicians arrives unexpectedly and injects some joy into the camp. The refreshingly vibrant and authentic music makes it become evident that change is bound to happen.

The 100% local video was directed by Jon-Luke Lourens and produced by Anco Henning of Direction Films. Some of the first-class talent involved in the production includes the director of photography, Amelia Henning and leading cast, Amy Louise Wilson, and Francis Chouler.

Check out the Ottoman Slap video for Aquel Ruido below:
