Miami Beach

Lax'n'Busto's song 'Miami Beach' is a spirited anthem that celebrates local pride while humorously critiquing the fascination with American culture. The lyrics juxtapose the allure of famous American destinations like Miami, Florida, and California with the beauty and richness of local Catalonian spots such as Tamarit and Empúries. The song opens with a rhetorical question, challenging the listener to reconsider the obsession with foreign beaches when local ones offer just as much, if not more, natural beauty and sunshine.

The song also delves into the cultural imports that have become staples in local life, such as Budweiser, Coca-Cola, and Jack Daniels. The artist humorously points out that local products, like the wine from the local cooperative, are just as good, if not better, and much more affordable. This sentiment is a playful jab at the perception that foreign products are inherently superior, highlighting the value of local goods and traditions.

In the latter part of the song, Lax'n'Busto acknowledges the undeniable influence of American pop culture, listing iconic figures like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe. However, the song maintains a tone of optimism and pride, suggesting that local culture has its own unique charm and potential. The mention of local delicacies like 'botifarra' and the virtues of local women serves to reinforce this pride. The song concludes with a humorous twist, as the singer admits a personal desire to live in New Jersey, adding a layer of irony to the overall message of local pride.
