Bow Wow Cali
California is a fantastic blend of everything in the world, all the good and the bad, in one very large and immense place. It’s a perfect place to go to get lost, to reinvent oneself, and to make dents in the brick walls of culture, if there’s enough passion and tenacity. There are large and diverse Native populations that make up the original core of California, and because of its history there is a local Mexican population, then a lot of European-descended Americans came to settle during the various booms, and it’s still a story that’s being written, and written by all the people that come here to visit or to stay.
It has everything anyone could want, with beaches and forests and deserts, small towns and vibrant urban centers, along with vineyards and wharves and the thousands of subcultures making communities all over the state. For that reason alone, tourism is very high, as evidenced by its excellent hotels , and it’s a rather welcoming place for visitors. Almost everyone here feels like a tourist, and even the locals sometimes feel like they’re only visiting a version of California. The multiple versions are tweaked and shifted daily by the media, and it appears in various manifestations in film, commercials, songs, and music videos.
In the 80s, it was given another life by the wildly popular song and video, I Want Candy, by Bow Wow Wow. The teenage lead singer, Annabella Lwin captured the hearts of thousands of teenagers with her sophisticated vocals and energetic dance on the sand. This is a kind of tribute to what California is, and what it can be, because the group is not from here, and came, instead, from London. And Lwin ‘s time with the band was actually rather short, even though she’s gone on to do more with her career, giving her talents the space they need to grow and thrive. This is where California myth meets the real world, and, finding the real world to be a bit of a bore, decides to print the legend instead.
