Wyclef Jean has capoeira moves in his latest song - and the lyrics win the dubious label of "terrible" by NOW magazine.
"The two albums share qualities: natural production, original, heavy instrumentation, an eclectic sensibility and the occasional terrible lyric. Take the best song, the epic Welcome To The East, featuring Sizzla: She's dancing the capoeira. I see her in Brazil. Her cry sounds like 7 million violins. Knowing that her man won't be back tomorrow, she cries, is the bridge. The phrase You don't gotta be no millionaire to get a ticket up to the moonÉ almost spoils an otherwise sweet Paul Simon connection on Fast Car." [link]
Ok, so maybe the song won't win any awards but I'm happy any time I see capoeira in pop culture.
