Cab describes his new video as “a visual interpretation of love. Chico y Rita seems to be tailor-made for the song. And my grandfather being half Cubano, and coming to the states to find my grandmother, it’s very close to home. This music video/song’s statement is clear. In the end, love conquers all. Rest in peace, Grandpa”.
