JLT - Cool video “Where the hell is Matt?”

by Amit Ranjan on Jun 26, 2008

Just wanted to share this really cool video titled “Where the hell is Matt?”. It chronicles the travels of Matt, a 31 year old American who got an all expense paid 6 month world trip through 39 countries on 7 continents. What did he have to do- well, JUST DANCE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA!!!!! And dance he does with a characteristic jig that is sure to make you want to try it out yourself. If you want to read his bio, head over here. Watch every second of this 4.28 min long video (its high fidelity and so takes a fair bit of time to download, but the wait is worth the time). And yes, his world travel starts with Mumbai…. and in the midst touches Gurgaon as well…

The background score incidentally is in Bengali and is an adapation from the poem “Stream of Life” from Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore and it has been sung by Palbasha Siddiqui, a 17 year old second generation Bengali of Bangladeshi origin from Minneapolis in the US (thanks Unmesh for the tip)

BTW, JLT is just like that- just a reason to share cool stuff from across the web.

    From the credits, the singer “Palbasha Siddiqui” is a Bengali from Minneapolis and the lyrics are from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore.

    Cheers.
