Long live Mexico!

Long Live Mexico! – An electrifying cine‑concert that marries the revolutionary spirit of Sergei Eisenstein’s 1931 masterpiece *Mexico* (titled *¡Que Viva México!* in the U.S.) with the bold, shimmering palette of the Parisian trio NLF3. Born in 2000 by brothers Nicolas and Fabrice Laureau (formerly of Prohibition), the group creates an instrumental language that swings between post‑rock, electronic, and bursts of Brazilian tropicalism. Their instrumentation – Fabrice on bass, sampler, and vocals; Nicolas on Fender Rhodes, electric guitar, melodica, and synthesizer; Ludovic Morillon on percussion and guitar; and Jean‑Michel Pirès on percussion – crafts a high‑flying, cinematic sonic landscape that becomes a living, breathing counterpart to the unfinished Soviet film’s visuals. Since its debut, NLF3 has refined a distinctly shimmering sound that excels in the delicate art of the cine‑concert. Their 2004 composition for *¡Que Viva Mexico!* remains a flagship experience, full of bright, contrasting nuances that echo, enhance, and illuminate Eisenstein’s vision without ever feeling flat or merely illustrative.
