David Byrne - Make Believe Mambo (Official Video)

[@chrisdixon5193]

David Byrne has brought so much joy into my life, and every time I put my 6yo daughter in the car, she says Daddy can we listen to David Byrne? Her favorite song is Burning Down the House.

[@starquinones2746]

That's fantastic! Old soul for sure. Well done sir.

[@dymond66]

30 years later, no one has made an English album of Latin music like David Byrne’s Rei Momo

[@buddymx163]

This album was a collaboration with Willy Colon, Celia Cruz and many other incredible Latin artists. Never understood why he never mentioned.

[@brunorusso6957]

In his book he talks extensively about the making of the album and the subsequent tour and he gives due credit to the artists involved. I don't think he had an exploitative attitude with this project.

[@buddymx163]

@@brunorusso6957 I think if you see the title of the video you will have your answer #culturalappropiation

[@brunorusso6957]

@@buddymx163 I don't agree. He actually mentioned his sources (not in the title of the video, but in a number of occasions), so I think there's a difference between Rei Momo and, for example, Elvis Presley stealing "hound dog". Surely, the "my Life in the Bush of Ghosts" thing is a lot more questionable both for its method and for its contents.
