Casting Local Talent for Major Lazer’s “Lay Your Head on Me”

Dancing is a great uniter. There is a sacred quality intrinsic to every turn, tap, and twist. Dancing is a language understood across the world, and throughout history, cultures have used dancing to communicate and express desires and fears, hope and their faith.

The Lift is proud to have helped cast the dancers in Major Lazer’s latest music video, Lay Your Head on Me. Directed by Filip Nilsson and produced by Object & Animal, the project called for people from all over the world to sync together, united by the same choreography.

We rallied our network of Mexico-based talent to be featured in the music video, a video with a message incredibly relevant to this global moment. Our contribution to this beautiful project, highlighting talent across Mexico and using art to bring people together, encapsulates why we love what we do.
