Na Raindee Hai by Arieb Azhar

Sereia (Mermaid) by Suba
Sereia is a Brazilian song by the pioneering Serbian-born electronic musician Suba (Mitar Subotic), who died in 1999 trying to rescue recordings from a fire as he was reaching the peak of his career. The word for mermaid in many languages comes from the Greek word for siren. The video shows rival jungle tribes preparing huge robots for combat; but when they meet, the result is unexpected. In Portuguese with English translation.
