ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A hip-hop video shoot shut down parts of Route 66 in New Mexico last weekend because lowriders were driving around in circles as a crowd of hundreds twerked in the street.
The filming in downtown Albuquerque Sunday triggered a long block party Sunday night, snarling traffic and confusing motorists amid the neon lights and the city’s historic buildings.
The crew filming hip-hop artist Jandro took advantage of the unexpected, spontaneous party scene by shooting footage of the festivities, videographer Editz Macias said in an interview on Tuesday.
“The whole situation just got bigger than what we expected so we went where the footage was,” Macias said.
