    I really enjoyed (sniffff!!).
    btw, 2:33 (plaça reial) and 2:47 (plaça catalunya) buddies are in Barcelona, aren't they?
  • jur_jur 11 months ago
    Yes they are. I didn't saw your comment and i've just posted the same. At least i'm not crazy...
  • Carlitos Nieves 11 months ago
    I also thought about that, I guess those musicians are Russia and Rio de Janeiro but playing in Barcelona.

    I'm maybe wrong... but i think that two people that appear in the video are in barcelona (spain). Cesar Pope is in the plaça reial and the next one, dimitri dolganov is in plaça catalunya. The video is great but i saw this two frames and the subtitles shocked me...
  • Igor Igoreha 3 months ago

  • Alegruja 11 months ago
    Great. The mixing is wonderful. I was fed up of listening Stand by me, but this art piece have changed my mind. Music is universal, no matter where you are or where you come from, though our friend Darwin1889 can't see it. Great.

  • Jordi LP 11 months ago
    This video is really amazing! But I also noticed that several places around (like "Moscow") are really Barcelona, Spain. You were trying to cheat a little eh?
    To Darwin: paso de insultarte (por lo obvio), creo que es degradarme a tu nivel. Solo una cosa, ¿no te jode que como representación de españa hayan puesto Barcelona? seguro que debe dar una rabia... (sucede cada vez con más frecuencia, acostumbrate, jejeje). Por cierto, no hace falta que alargues la conversación, estoy seguro que nadie que vea esto está interesado en tus demostraciones de alto cociente intelectual.
  • victor hart 11 months ago
    Es obvio que en algunos de los casos la referencia es a la nacionalidad, más que el lugar geográfico, Gracias por contestarle al pelagato de Darwin (que nombre se gasta para ser tan imbecil, el adolorido non grato en Cataluña) Jordi, me has ahorrado el tener que bajar al nivel de semejante tarado... nazi, kkk, Se nota que esta obra es una especie de elixir inspirador para la mayoria de los amantes de la música y de la paz en el mundo, pero un pulgante para los odiosos racistas como el hediondo y putrefacto de Darwin1889.
    QUE VIVA ESTE PROYECTO. REALMENTE HERMOSO.

  • viky cha 11 months ago
    No es por molestar a mis compatriotas, tanto a los de Barcelona como a los demás... pero... aparte de que esta canción es más para unir que para desunir... creo que el lugar al que hacen referencia es al de origen del cantante, que lo importante son las personas y no el lugar en el que ofrecen su arte (que puede que también coincida o simplemente puede que me equivoque, por eso solo digo "creo" mientras otros afirman).

    I love this video. The concept is great and the editing is superb. I love Grandpa Elliott, his voice, his harp playing, his face and his demeanour are captivation. All the performers are excellent and the singers superb. I am still playing this on 10th January 2009. Happy New Year every one! Fran Leslie Editor: Blues In Britain magazine bluesinbritain.org

    Espectacular,maravilloso,no me extraña que sean los músicos y los bohemios de las grabaciones lo que hagan esto para la alegría de la gente,no me sorprende,siempre fue así,fueron subidos a los blogs y webs para que los políticos los imiten y aprendan que fácil que es hacer algo para el mundo.
