This is the latest from Manu Chao and its been bouncing around in my head this week, crowding out some of the Mountain Goats. He's the guy who is stealing back the bit of "world music" that was borrowed by the Talking Heads and the Clash, and more power too him. Even if you haven't heard of him, you've probably heard this or this. This one is 'Rainin in Paradize' and it's a damn catchy song with a great guitar riff (Santana would be proud), and a pretty cool album too (sung in like four or five languages). (If you're curious, he has two other videos for this song, here and here, that are fun too.)
in Zaire, was no good place to be
this world go crazy, it’s an atrocity
in Congo, still no good place to be
them kill me buddy, its a calamity
go Masai go Masai -- be mellow
go Masai go Masai -- be sharp
this world go crazy, it’s an atrocity
in Congo, still no good place to be
them kill me buddy, its a calamity
go Masai go Masai -- be mellow
go Masai go Masai -- be sharp
