Staring at a poster, muttering names of buildings—”International Building”, “Pan-American Building” with a chorus going “Oh, it’s tall”—with a strange nostalgia/amazement … I don’t know what this is, I’m just going to call this “Oh, so French”.
Also interesting is that, despite being overwhelmingly French, the music is African. Sampling before samplers existing, or French people stealing from Africa? <- (This is meant as a joke, for those who don’t understand sarcasm or world history)
