Las Panteras

A single from the debut, with a 1970s-style mystery video.
Los Bitchos, from Let the Festivities Begin! (2021)

Clash called it a disco meets punk meets cumbia anthem-in-waiting. The video, overseen by Tom Mitchell, is a 1970s-style mystery in which the band must solve the mystery of Las Panteras, with a dance routine, a malevolent kitten and a closing battle. Ruiz said they wanted to show the mystery of the song combined with sassy dance moves, and cited Kill Bill, Scooby-Doo and the Spice Girls' "Wannabe"; the ending is a Bram Stoker's Dracula-inspired fight. We found no writer credit, recording date, personnel, chart or meaning. A New York review has it near the end of the set at Music Hall of Williamsburg in 2022, after "Pista (Fresh Start)". It is unrelated to a Montpellier group called Las Panteras.
