One of the more offbeat offshoots of the 400th anniversary of Don Quixote is a hiphop version of it by Frank T, La Excepción, Dani Pannullo and others that was broadcast tonight on Radio 3. I thought I'd hate it, but it's actually listenable. Who said that high culture and popular culture don't mix? This sort of project shows that the distinction is probably outmoded. To see a video clip, go here and scroll down. (It'll probably disappear from the site very quickly.)

Two Spanish nominees for the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards, 2005: Amparanioa and Ojos de Brujo. Both worth your time, and probably also your money.
