ABOUT THE VIDEO:
Andreco: I’d give you every organ of my body, I’m a magician with a special skill, which is much more than cutting women in two parts.

The musicians were playing in a big black cube made in wood and cotton and the people were all around the cube looking the musicians playing through the black cotton wall, the sensation was as observing the organs in functions under the skin.
