Helado Negro travels back in time in “Hometown Dream” video
It’s the fifth song from his October 2021 album Far In to receive a visual treatment.
Roberto Carlos Lange (Helado Negro) has shared the music video for "Hometown Dream" — a soulful, mid-album track from his eighth studio LP, October 2021's Far In. For the new visuals, Lange superimposes footage of his family's 1998 vacation to Ecuador — his first trip to his parents' homeland — over his face.
It's a fitting montage for a song about Lange's recent move from his adopted hometown, Brooklyn, to Asheville, North Carolina with his wife."'Hometown Dream' is about me leaving New York after living there for so long," he writes. "New York showed me my north in life and taught me to celebrate existence."
