Eh, that's nice, what is it ?
This, my friend, is a band called Goldfish.
It's and electro band that comes from south-Africa.
I thought we didn't talk much about this kind of music so I wanted to show it.
It's a duo and there are often other artists with whom they make some featurings.
And I find that this music video is their best because it shows a lot of geek references.
It's called "We Come Together" and it's pretty nice.
There, I understand the 8 bit idea, it reminds me of my childhood video games.
And it's an idea that I love.
Like your mother.
See, this band is cool because they don't only do that.
Indeed, they make basic electro music, but they also enjoy,
to mix a lot of different instruments.
That, in final, gives you a very nice song with african sounds.
The idea is that they have a gravity that always make their albums something different.
An interesting cultural and musical patchwork.
In fact, on the south-african scene, they all know each others, and in one of their music video, there is an 'hommage' to Die Antwoord.
Have you heard about Die Antwoord ?
Die Antwoord is this.
Yes, indeed. So Die Antwoord is also an south-african band.
Who makes a weird sort of tribal hip-hop.
But it's an easy listening.
It's a duo, they both are blond and white, which is a bit weird
because you would think that there would be black, but no, there are also white people in south-Africa.
But we shall not forget that it has been colonized by Dutch.
So, there isn't only Nelson Mandela there, even if the idea,
when looking at their music videos carefully, we realise that this is a totally different dimension
speaking of graphics, and that either they look like fools,
or they look like geniuses.
But we are not indefferent to what Die Antwoord does.
I, in fact, discovered this band thanks to this music video, "Enter the Ninja".
At the beginning, we were making fun of them, because there is an
handicaped and deformed kid who is in it because it was his dream, and afterwards,
you listen to it a little bit more seriously.
I understand that it is critisized but you can listen to it very easily.
And why is that ?
I don't know, tell me.
(Useless joke that I didn't want to translate. Sorry about that.)
The idea, is that this band, this duo, they have this quite special universe to
surprise people, they want to surprise whatever the price is.
They want to shock people to awake them.
We like it or we don't, it's still nice to see people
trying to incorporate new things in music.
Yeah, that's right.
On this great words, we leave you with some music.
It was the jumpcut-shot, season 2, thanks for watching.
