Madonna - La Isla Bonita

piety will get you every time.

this is passionate.

Music Video

The music video was set in Los Angeles and was directed by Mary Lambert, who directed a string of her acclaimed 1980's videos including those for "Borderline" and "Like a Prayer". Benicio del Toro appeared in the video as a background character. The video world-premiered on MTV on March 6, 1987. The video starts with a bunch of street musicians playing on the street. Madonna listens to the music in her room. She yearns to go and join the people in the streets, to be free like them and dance, but she can't. Her piety is coming in her way. Her alter ego is shown dressed up completely to go out in the streets. Ultimately her alter-ego wins and Madonna, in a spanish flamenco dress, goes out in the streets and dances with the people.
