Ero a Malta due settimane fa per un’escursione universitaria e quando ho iniziato a filmare questo musicista a La Valletta la gente per strada ha iniziato improvvisamente a cantare e ballare al ritmo della canzone. Qualcuno può dirmi di che canzone si tratta e perché la gente conosceva il testo? È una canzone famosa a Malta? Vorrei includere questa esperienza nel mio saggio sull’escursione, quindi qualsiasi aiuto sarebbe molto apprezzato!

It is not a Maltese song so I am not sure what they’re singing. That guy has got a surprisingly vast portfolio of songs. He asks passers by where they are from and he pretty much can play and sing a popular typical song from any country.
Sounds Portuguese.
The song isn’t famous in Malta but he is. His name is Benny Grima and he is even an “attraction” on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/PjYP37SN5oW477q4A
This guy has learnt an insane amount of foreign songs, and when he catches wind of a particular group of foreigners from a particular country, he’ll break out some classic song in Spanish/Romanian/Bulgarian/Greek/Italian/English/Maltese/Portuguese/Lithuanian/Dutch/the list honestly goes on forever. I swear I saw him serenade something in chinese once lol
He is an absolute legend, a super nice guy, and (lesser known fact) the father of DJ Ruby, one of our older and best local talents.
