Arkells - Ballad of Hugo Chavez




Artist: Arkells
Song: Ballad of Hugo Chavez
Album: Jackson Square
Year: 2008

New state officials are outside running around, they're telling the public that I need to be put down. And Washington's saying, emphatically, that I wasn't doing things democratically.”

*FACT: How did I get to know this awesome Canadian band? It was a happy-lucky-random coincidence… I was in the United States just about to return to Mexico, and I was really bored, so I turned on the radio, and what do you know, there it was. I was instantly hooked by this song, so the minute I got in front of a computer I was looking it up from the words I had managed to remember. So, thank you Randomness Goddess for being good to me! (and boredom of course, where would we be if it wasn’t for boredom?) Had I left three minutes earlier, I wouldn’t know this band, which by the way, managed to record an excellent album (Jackson Square) so if you have some bucks to spare, give these guys a chance, I swear you won’t skip any track.

P.S. I got it from Amazon as, sadly, it was nowhere to be found on any record store I visited in nearly a year…
