Prince Rama Perform "Bahia" in a Gym in Pitchfork and GoPro’s Latest GP4K Video

Pitchfork and GoPro have shared the newest installment of GP4K, the video series captured exclusively with the GoPro HERO4 Black. Following Mac Miller’s “Clubhouse,” Neon Indian’s “The Glitzy Hive,” Frankie Cosmos’ “Outside With the Cuties,” and Metz‘s “Eraser,” it’s the fifth in a series of eight videos curated and produced by Pitchfork that reimagine the way GoPros are used in the context of live music.

For our latest installment, Brooklyn’s Prince Rama perform “Bahia” from their forthcoming album Xtreme Now, out March 4 via Carpark. The clip was filmed at Otom Gym in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Directed and edited by Jim Larson, the video showcases the band’s energetic live show while contortionist Amazing Amy and a group of Xtreme health nuts get ripped. Using GoPros on zip lines, gimbals, mic mounts and chest mounts, Larson’s goal was to capture the performance from the perspective of someone getting in a good sweat while Prince Rama play live.

Using eight songs as our guides, Pitchfork’s team of directors and cinematographers tell stories that challenge the conventions of the medium and kick-start discussions on what live music video can be. Be on the lookout for the rest of the GP4K series, which will follow in the coming weeks and months.
