[Video Link] In this short video piece from ~~Spanish-language~~ the bilingual English- and Spanish- language network mun2, we meet a young man named Xavier in Dallas, Texas, who has modded his border-cool nightclubbing outfit with el-wire and various glowing things to Tron-like effect. We're featuring this video in the next Boing Boing Video in-flight channel edition on Virgin America Airlines, along with a few other fun clips from Mun2. (thanks, Jose Marquez)

I’ve seen it written interchangeably as “trival”, “tribal” and “3ball”. The 3ball moniker seems to be a U.S phenomenon, perhaps a way to get people to not pronounce the word the way it looks in english (“try-bull”) but to stay closer to the spanish pronunciation (“tree-vall”). The music originated in Monterrey and spread northwards from there.
