About The Artwork

Mama was queen of the mambo Papa was king of the Congo Deep down in a jungle I started banging my first bongo Every monkey like to be In my place instead of me 'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong I went to the big town Where there is a lot of sound From the jungle to the city Looking for a bigger crown So I play my Boogie For the people of big city But they don't go crazy When I'm banging all my boogie I'm the Hear me when I come, baby (King of the Bongo) (King of the Bongo Bong) Nobody likes to be In my place instead of me 'Cause nobody go crazy When I'm banging on my boogie I'm a king without a crown Hanging loose in a big town But I'm the king of Bongo, baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong Hear me when I come, baby (King of the Bongo) (King of the Bongo Bong) Hear me when I come They said that I'm a clown Making too much dirty sound They said there is no place For little monkey in this town Nobody liked to be In my place instead of me 'Cause nobody go crazy When I'm banging on my boogie I'm the Hear me when I come, baby (King of the Bongo) (King of the Bongo Bong) Hear me when I come Banging on my bongo All that swing belongs to me I'm so happy there's nobody In my place instead of me I'm a king without a crown Hanging loose in a big town I'm the king of Bongo, baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong King of the Bongo bong) Hear me when I come, baby (King of the Bongo) (King of the Bongo Bong) Hear me when I come Mama was queen of the mambo Papa was king of the Congo Deep down in a jungle I started banging my first bongo Every monkey like to be In my place instead of me 'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong Hear me when I come Hear me when I come, baby (King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong) Hear me when I come ‘Bongo Bong’ by Manu Chao Songwriter: José-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao "Bongo Bong" is the first solo single by Manu Chao, from his first album: Clandestino. It is a remake of "King of Bongo", song from Manu Chao's previous band Mano Negra, which has its roots in a 1939 recording of "King of the Bongo Bong" by the trumpeter Roy Eldridge. It also uses the background music from Black Uhuru's song "Bull ina di Pen" from their Anthem album. The song is part of a medley with "Je ne t'aime plus" on its album. Moreover, the music has been reused for other songs such as "Mr. Bobby", which was first released on this single before being re-recorded for his second album: Próxima Estación: Esperanza and "Homens", from the same album by Chao. In 2006, a cover version by Robbie Williams, combining "Bongo Bong" and "Je ne t'aime plus" in one track, appeared on Williams' album Rudebox and was released as a single of its own in 2007. The song has also been remixed by breakbeat artists Cut & Run, drum and bassduo Ed Solo, Deekline, band Noisia and German singer Max Raabe. Clandestino is the first full-length solo album by Manu Chao, released in 1998. The album contains many soundbites throughout, two of which are bits of a speech by Subcomandante Marcos and, like Chao's subsequent albums, was mostly recorded by the musician himself in various locations around the world, using a small laptop—which is referred to in the liner notes as Estudio Clandestino. The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 67th greatest French rock album (out of 100). The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The album was ranked number 469 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020. Manu Chao (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmanu ˈtʃao]; born José-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao, 21 June 1961) is a French-born Spanish musician. He sings in French, Spanish, English, Italian, Arabic, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, Greek and occasionally in other languages. Chao began his musical career in Paris, busking and playing with groups such as Hot Pants and Los Carayos, which combined a variety of languages and musical styles. With friends and his brother Antoine Chao, he founded the band Mano Negra in 1987, achieving considerable success, particularly in Europe. He became a solo artist after its breakup in 1995, and since then tours regularly with his live band, Radio Bemba. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
