World Music: Michael Franti and Spearhead, "Hello Bonjour"
(USA) No matter how lighthearted the vibe on this dancehall outing, Michael Franti is a man of principle, and the subjects he is tackling lyrically are no walk in the park. This song is about the need for us to recognize the sacredness of our world and our connections to each other and the track made ebullient through the presence of reggae mainstays Sly and Robbie. While the prescription for the world's ills may not be as simple as learning to say "hello" in a few languages or as easy as "making love to the rhythm," the song and video manages to create a sense of the global community that Franti envisions.
