Mexican band Ladrones have officially released the music video for “Cali,”

Directed by Abraham Recio, the visual blends rich cultural heritage with intimate storytelling, capturing Ladrones performing in Boyle Heights around Mariachi Plaza just steps from the legendary Eastside Luv framed by iconic murals while 8mm film delivers a lean, organic production style with a distinct, romantic aesthetic that mirrors the track’s emotional resonance.

“When I first heard Ladrones, what stood out to me was how naturally they brought together metal and corridos,” says director Abraham Recio. “To honor that raw authenticity, Recio shot the entire piece on Super 8 using the format’s inherent warmth and nostalgia to document this milestone in Ladrones’ journey as if it were already a memory, framing “Cali” not as an escape to California, but as an appreciation of the path that brought them there.”

Interspersed throughout the performance are small, portrait-style pickups capturing the rich texture of the community: families, couples, residential streets, and everyday neighborhood moments. The visual direction draws inspiration from legendary photographers who have documented Los Angeles, East LA, and Mexican culture, using their historic work as a guide for tone, framing, casting, and raw emotion.

“Shooting entirely on Super 8 felt like a natural extension of that idea. The warmth and nostalgia of the format complemented the song, and I liked the idea of documenting this moment in the band’s journey in a way that already felt like a memory,” Recio adds. “Ultimately, I wanted the video to feel less like an escape to California and more like an appreciation of the journey that brought them here.”

The release of “Cali” builds on a massive wave of live momentum for the group. Fresh off an acclaimed performance at the renowned Día de Los Deftones festival in San Diego, CA, Ladrones are set to kick off their milestone first U.S. headlining tour this Friday, November 13, in Dallas, TX with 16 dates across the country, the tour will bring the explosive energy of Arriba La L directly to audiences nationwide.

The official music video for “Cali” is available to watch now across all digital platforms. For full tour dates and ticket information, visit www.ladrones.mx
