Music Tuesday #111: King Kong song

The list of French bands or singers I listen to is quite short.  One band that stands out because of their latin alternative/ska punk/worldbeat music.  I like eclectic music and this is definitely the case here.  Out of this band you will know Oscar Tramor, of Manu Chao fame.

The link to this band? Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, who performed together with this band at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.  I knew if the Dead Kennedys in the early 90s just around the time when I started listening to Nomeansno, who have worked together with Jello Biafra too.  I can continue, all my favorite bands are connected:  Tool members are fans of Nomeansno, Rage Against the Machine singer Zack de la Rocha performed with Tool on a couple of occasions and Tool singer Maynard James Keenan sang on RATM's debut album...

Today's song is only a good 1:56 long, the official video adds 20 odd seconds of nonsense to get to 2:30 runtime.
