My favourite english song in this moment is Nantes by Mexican singer Zach Condon, the vocalist of the Beirut group. This songs is very beautifull and it has a mixture of happiness and sadness, this track was film in Nantes, a france city, and was improvised. Of fact his first official video was for the song “elephant gun”, one year latter.

I like Nantes song because despite of being very handcrafted, it is a song of many musical quality, in general in his tracks is possible listened the trumpet, organ, accordion, piano, ukelele, mandolin, glockenspiel, violin, cello, tambourine, etc. Besides I like the Nantes song because it makes me remember my infancy although i dont know why. The first time when i Heard it song was one year ago when a good friend show me this group.

Beirut combines elements and sounds of the music folk and, specially, of the from one the East Europe and Mexico. This because Zach Condon in his tour along Europe was left to influence for the Balkan music, specially for Boban Markovi's orchestra.

Nantes

Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so,
This will slip into the seaBut it's been a long time,long time now
Since I've seen you smile
Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in NantesWell it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so,
This will slip into the sea
But it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
