Debi Nova ‘Drummer Boy’ Video Behind The Scenes

Debi Nova talks about the murga dancing and capoeiristas incorporated in her 'Drummer Boy' music video

Debi Nova is out with behind the scenes footage from her ‘Drummer Boy’ music video shoot. The Costa Rican beauty provides an inside look into the making of the video from tiring dance rehearsals to shooting at Vasquez Rocks State Park with director Thomas Kloss. Debi’s hybrid (English/Spanish) debut album ‘Luna Nueva’ is due out this spring.

“It’s been a long day but I want to show you guys around a little bit of what we’re doing over here, so come on in,” Debi says introducing the video.

“The dances we incorporated was the murga, a street dance from Paraguay and Argentina. It’s like a version of the Carnival dance and it’s very freestyle, energetic dance, so I wanted to incorporate that into the video.”

“We also have some capoeiristas from Brazil. Capoeira is a martial art from Brazil. The unusual thing about it, different from other types of martial arts, is that it’s really a dance. A dance that is very tied into music and very tied into rhythm. They do some crazy things. They do flips and stand on their hands and kick people. It’s quite amazing and it’s also very energetic. I thought that with murga, with African drumming, I think it’s gonna be a fun day. I’m excited to show you guys.”

Debi Nova talks with MTV.com to share details about Costa Rica, being bilingual and her musical beginnings

Debi Nova sat down with MTV.com to share a little more about herself in a new episode of ‘The 5’. Viewers can learn more about the pop singer’s native country of Costa Rica, her tendency to speak in “Spanglish”, her passion for songwriting and playing instruments, and with her love for surfing.

“I am from San Jose, Costa Rica,” she said. “Beautiful country, it’s in Central America and what you should know about Costa Rica. First of all, the most beautiful thing about it is that it has no army, and you can really feel the peace and the positivity that’s within the people there. It’s very at the forefront of eco conciousness and it really takes care of its natural resources. People are really laid back. It’s really cool. Food is amazing. Beaches are beautiful. Weather is fabulous.”

On being bilingual, she said, “I moved from Costa Rica to Los Angeles about seven years ago, and I speak both English and Spanish, so this album that’s coming out soon is a good representation of how I communicate with my family and friends. I say maybe 80% in English and 20% in Spanish, and sometimes 80% in Spanish and 20% in English, depending on the mood.”

On her musician and songwriter profession, she said, “I started playing piano when I was four years old. I picked up the guitar and the bass when I was between 12-14. They’re really a very, very important part of my songwriting process. Playing instruments is probably what I love to do the most. I sit in front of the piano every single day and it’s definitely a big part of this album.”
