The Rolling Stones feature Puente Alsina in new music video

The Rolling Stones have paid homage to their Argentine fans by filming a visualizer for their new song "Divine Intervention" at the historic Puente Alsina. This iconic bridge, which connects the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Nueva Pompeya with Valentín Alsina in Lanús, serves as the backdrop for the video accompanying a track from their latest 14-song album, "Foreign Tongues."

The visualizer, lasting nearly five minutes, follows a young dancer across various points of the monumental neo-colonial bridge, inaugurated in 1938. While the song's lyrics begin with "Walking down the street in New York City," the video clearly showcases the Puente Alsina. The track itself features guest appearances from Robert Smith of The Cure on guitar, Steve Winwood on piano and organ, Andrew Watt on synthesizers and backing vocals, and saxophonist James King and trumpeter Ron Blake.

I don't think we'll tour this year but I hope we do it next year. And I hope to do it as soon as possible. And I would also love to go to Argentina, obviously.

This artistic nod comes ahead of potential tour plans, which Mick Jagger had previously discussed with La Nación. He expressed a strong desire to tour with the new album, hoping to visit Argentina as soon as possible. Jagger fondly recalled his first visit to Buenos Aires in 1995, describing the overwhelming euphoria of the fans and the incredible enthusiasm of the shows, calling the audience "brilliant."

The Puente Alsina holds significant cultural weight, having been a backdrop for various artists. It is also geographically close to the former residence of Argentine rock legend Sandro. The bridge's presence in the Rolling Stones' visualizer connects the band's global reach with a specific, cherished landmark of Argentine music history, resonating with local fans.

I remember arriving and everyone was so euphoric. They welcomed us singing outside the hotel. The shows were incredible and were full of enthusiasm. A brilliant audience. I never forgot that, it was an incredible moment.
