MANU CHAO - TREN DE HIELO Y FUEGO EN COLOMBIA

In the 90's Manu Chao and a bunch of friends decided to take one of the forgotten trains in Colombia, fixed it and named it EL TREN DE HIELO Y FUEGO (The train of ice and fire), the name comes from Gabriel Garcia Marquez 100 Years of Solitude.
Then they went on the adventure of travel across Colombia!
Here's a video from that trip, and the songs are Casa Babylon and Senor Matanza:



For some reason Colombia that had important railways at some point of the last century left them disappear, instead we have the longest most stupidest roads, that makes traveling by car such a mission!
