Manu Chao - Bongo Bong

Juan and Camilo played some cool tunes last night at Open Mic, and one of them was a nice little tune by Manu Chao called "Bongo Bong". You've probably heard it before somewhere, but might not know that the lyrics actually came from a Mano Negra song called "King Of The Bongo". This is definitely one instance where the sequel was better than the original. Another thing to note is that the instrumental to this track is also used in other Manu Chao songs like "Mr. Bobby", so it's no surprise then to hear him mesh the two songs together in this nice little performance from the Abbey Road studios in 2008.


Sometimes I dream about reality.
