Yeah, they're great.
If I see them around anywhere, I'll ask when and where they'll be playing in the States. They're in Europe at the moment, though, so probably won't see them till the summer.

I'm not familiar with Jorge Ben and David Byrne working together. I know a number of Jorge Ben's songs appeared on Brazil Classics Vol. 1 that David Byrne put together on Luaka Bop. If you run across that tape sometime I would be interested in knowing what it is.

Luaka Bop is the one, and after a quick rummage I've found the tape. It's a homemade tape with Coupé Cloué's
Maximum Compas from Haiti on the other side.
The track from Jorge Ben on A Luaka Bop is
Ponta de Lanca Africano and it's my fave track on the album.
Another great on the album is Caetano Veloso, who has a new album out called
A Foreign Sound. I haven't heard it, but read a good review of it recently.
