Manu Chao's music vids consistently capture a beautiful spirit on film. His brand new video for "Politik Kills" off La Radiolina is a prime example. Self-directed with JS Sauvaire co-directing, it's shot from Chao's perspective as he follows a young fella around Monrovia, Liberia. FADER Mag reports that the kid was a soldier during the civil war that ended only a year ago. As I watched this, I realized he's probably walked that same route a hundred times, touting a rifle rather than a boombox. Looks like the boombox is way more fun to travel with.Manu Chao - Politik Kills (long version)

It's sorta like a chilled out version of Buraka Som Sistema's most recent vid:"Sound Of Kuduro" video on youTManu Chao should tour with Michael Franti this year. They have a similar fire burnin right now, would be crazy to see them combine it.

You're not jokin about the long version... can you imagine fighting in a war at the age of 12 or 13? You're probably right: the radio can't be as heavy as the gun. thanks Molli
