1988 : While driving on a whim at the “feria de Nîmes” in France with friends, (a corrida festival where they release bulls in the streets, funny and sometimes a bit dangerous) we attended a free concert of a group called “Mano Negra” which became a few months later one of the most famous group of France in the early 90’s.
HERE IS ONE OF THEIR SONG TAKEN OF THEIR 1st Album “Patchanka”: FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKES MUSIC AND DOESEN’T ALREADY KNOW THEM (GROUP WAS DISSOLVED 1994), I Recommend to listen ALL SONGS FROM this awesome Album, (see link below), I choose one of it sang in french, but some are in english or spanish.

Paul Carbone1 fell from the train
Both hands clutching his stomach
T’was back in ’43
That the story ended
For Paul “Ventura” Carbone
Rather badly as it should
For a hardboiled mobster
And it’s in the Dead Rat in Pigalle
A lowlife tarts dive
That Stefani assaulted at gun point
Angelo the mafioso
He got lucky, the old bastard
To get away with a few scratches
At dusk,
As night falls
And it’s in Clichy’s cemetery
That Angelo caught up with Stefani
Who, unsuspecting, indulged himself in putting flowers on a friend’s grave
Who had died six months ago already
From a mean little bullet in the liver
Angelo said to Stefani
“Yes it’s me who did Ventura
But you, you shot me
You’ll pay for that, bitch”
And in cold blood he put
A mean little bullet in his liver
At dusk,
As night falls
