Musik & Demokracy
Back when we were still paying for DishTV, I often watched LinkTVs World Music videos, as introduced by the charming Frances Uku. Relying more on content than big budget effects, artists in Eastern Europe or South America or Africa make very entertaining and affecting videos, like both the the black and white and the colorful animated versions of Manu Chao's Raining in Paradise (above).
The Daily Dish reminded me of that, posting a youtube of DemoKracy by the expat-Iranian sisters, Safoura and Melody Safavi, who call themselves Abjeez. Based in Sweden, Abjeez offers an unforgettable take on MSM war coverage:
BTW, Frances Uku posts this non-musical vid on her blog, with architect Rem Koolhaas in Lagos Nigeria from Lagos Wide and Close:
