Video of the Day: La Rumba de La Colifata

This is too cool:

This month [December 2007] in Buenos Aires, Manu Chao joined La Colifata for a live radio broadcast. La Colifata is the radio station run by patients at the Borda Hospital - a psychiatric hospital. There was a rumor that Manu would be playing a live show at the hospital, and since he’s done it once before during a visit to Buenos Aires, it seemed worth checking out…

There was camaraderie between the patients and Manu Chao with hugs and thanks all around. The performers were happy to share their own creative expression and the audience enjoyed their participation. They made jokes and shared intimate thoughts alike.

The following is one onlooker’s video of Manu singing “La Vaca Loca” (“The Crazy Cow”) during his appearance at the Borda Hospital:
