The Boy Who Floated Freely
Ramona Cordova is big in France (and Italy, Greece and much of Western Europe). I'm not sure why Europeans fell so hard for his strange blend of Walt Disney meets Antony and the Johnsons. His debut record, "The Boy Who Floated Freely", is a concept album of 11 songs about a boy who washes up on an island of gypsies and magical fairies. But it works...seriously!
Ramona Cordova plays Chicago tonight at 8pm at South Union Arts. Below is an mp3 from his debut courtesy of Les In Rocks (France's "Rolling Stone").
