Tonino Carotone - Mondo Difficile
May 11th, 2006 by Hank
Musica Mestiza is a very broad begrip. I think the most important thing is that it is a very international music streaming. And nogal left, over the algemeen. Anti-global globalists, to make it lekker complicated.
I write this intro because all bands that will follow the revue in Och’s Romantic Asphalt Hits differ quite a bit on many fronts. This next album’s musical style for instance is almost purely north-western mediterranean. But the lyrics are more international.
Tonino Carrotone is an Espagnoitaliano. His music is intense and raw. It makes you want to sit in a Pamplonese bar with a bottle of wine and some nice tapas (I’d like a pulpo en su tinto now, verdomme), after a long hard drive over European highways with your loved one on the passenger seat, and sing along with his beautiful songs about life and the world we live in. Life which is beautiful, and a Mundo that is Difficile.
Did I write this? Jezus, what an ingewikkeld zooitje letters is this geworden. All I wanted to say is: enjoy this great, great record.

This feels like home! Just om te melden, Tonino was the frontman of the Basque punk band Tijuana in Blue and afterwards, of Cojón Prieto y los Huajalotes, a crazy punk-ranch-mexican-mariachi band half Basque half Navarran (which arguably means also Basque). Anyway, people, enjoy the great track Me Cago en el Amor, which means, literally, I shit on love. Because Tonino is, after all, quite a romantic bloke….

Spanish is a great language but I think paying and shitting are to close together, I was in a spanish bar couple of years ago and I asked my friend (who speaks spanish ofcourse) what ‘I want to pay’ in Spanish was.. so the guy responded.. quiro cagar
I’m off to the bar and I said: Quiro Cagar!
The whole bar breaks in laughter and the barman goes away to come back a minute later with a toilet roll
Ik wil schijten had ik verdomme gezegd

Ik zit hier in mijn tuintje tot aan mijn enkels in een teiltje hele strakke chardonnay en het resterende ijsblokje, Tonino stroomt uit de doorluchtige bovenramen, en ik geniet mij SUPH!
