I waited a lot for this moment 🙏
thankkkksss my bro 🙏, grettings from Chile
This is an amazing moment! Sharing these wide!
Ren is about to drop y'all. Hi Ren is going to go viral any day now. 2.7m views as of todat, 2.4m yesterday.
Were you born a cunt or did it take years of practice?
This is a seriously fucking cool video - so much goddam talent.
After discovering "Hi Ren" I've been stuck in the Ren loophole and I am loving it!
Welcome ❤😊
It's a whirlwind of greatness
He has so much music that's amazing he might be the only one I know that can sing a song about suicide or Valium and it be catchy One thing I would love to see after sick boy album is to reunite with the big push Make some more music with them what an amazing group
Welcome my friend I’ve been stuck in this hole since January 😂
@@marghester 🖤🖤
Honestly, these guys are so talented, it's incredible. Highly underrated.
Aw thanks gui! ❤️
its the power of music that makes u free like a bird. its magic :)
What do you mean highly underrated .. underrated by whom? Not one freaking soul out there after hearing this underrated them the whole gawd dam music loving world is blown away!
@@bubbahubba5009 When I say underrated, I mean that they're way too talented for the recognition they receive. In terms of numbers, they don't do as well as other bands, but they're far more talented
One of the best band I've heard this last month
Nearly 60 and I jump up every time this tune comes on! Thank you boys!!
Same❤
77 here. Entranced
Me too! 62
63 and still bouncing ,best new musician i've heard
A few weeks ago I came across a tune called Hi Ren the song had me in tears and took me down the Ren Rabbit hole, whilst wondering through that warren I found The Big Push! I am now chilling at the Tea party and I ain’t ever leaving. ❤
Exactly same here!
yooo same
So true, same here. This is such a cool groove! Ren is such a very gifted musician! BTW the other two too.
Me, too! He is real deal.
The most ICONIC trio .
Aw you're too kind
This IS mixed properly. I fucking hate when they do this fake videos outside to make them look cool, relaxed, just improvising but the material is recorded in studio. It's dubbing, that's what it is.
@@OjoRojo40 fake? Lol. I'm sure for them is easier to take only the moment of playing outdoors having a great time and upload it here, but the greatest musicians try to give the greatest sound.
@@Helix.95 You think they just sat on the rooftop did only one take and magic happened.
@@OjoRojo40 no man I didn't say that. But you can see that they know everything about the song and they play it really well. I don't care about the times they play it and edit to have the perfect sound. In fact it has more merit for me. Calling it "fake" as you did, it's not accurate at all, just because the sound it's not the sound they had on that roof
I know for a fact, the big man himself Manu Chao fully approves of this classic cover.
He *loves* and respects real musicians & music. Namaste Ren & family. 🤟
I've loved this song for 15 years, and this is the best cover ever.
These guys are incredible
i suggest max raabe cover also
Na why have I only just found this, one of the most talented groups ever singing one of the most underplayed songs ever, what a banger.
This was so good when they did the live set in the bedroom, cannot wait to hear it mixed properly!!
Really hope you like it
The big push could you do more live sets please the covid is making everyone blue ;-( the way you guys bounce off one another and glue and bond is brilliant to see. I've said it before you guys are dope!
@@The123tanner aw thanks so much sid! i'm really pleased to hear that, we got a few more live sessions up our sleeves! stay tuned
@@TheBigPushBand j'ai préféré la version sur la couette, c'était tellement spontané, c'était magnifique, impossible à refaire....
@@aliceciffoni327 ❤
Dude, listening to this 5 times a day since first discovered.
Sick! Thanks 🥰❤
I cant be more identified 😂😂
@@juliancorletti8647 aha ❤
Same
Me too I just keep coming back!
Im 55yrs old been in number of bands since the mid 80s some successful others not so successful.. I've been following Ren so a while now and i believe he is britian premium singer songwrirers poet.. a truely gifted individual... keep your health Ren but keep producing
Ren isn’t an artist you just go in a rabbit hole on, it’s like getting hit by waves you hear one song and then you just can’t stop one after another just as amazing as the last
I think that may be the definition of a rabbit hole
Love how Gorran takes a sip of the wine before he drops the best bass of all time. the smoothness
he lookin cute here
Lol seriously perfect timing and so effortless ❤️
That bass line is 🔥
He’s sooo cool in this. So causal about his greatness.
@@monimoo5777he’s always looking cute lol
Ren, it may be a few years old but this is one of my favorites covers of yours…(y’all’s)…This and any of Nina Simone’s stuff you’ve done busking. Of course all of your other stuff is amazing as well, but this one just catches the light in a perfect particular way and shines like hell.
P.S. Oh and please come to the USA. I promise it’s not really as bad as the news makes it out to be…at least in most places it’s not! (But even if it were, that’s all the more reason to come-to have the opportunity to enjoy your talent first hand would be so surreal and amazingly uplifting…Lives would be changed forever, without a doubt). Think on it!! (As if you’ll ever really read this, lol. Don’t worry folks, I’m not delusional…just putting the energy out there ‘cause hey! You never know what could happen)😊
Such an underrated band, my god.
wow thanks a lot dude!
Super under rated. I'd love to see jacob collier rock with this insane talent.
Underrated by who?? who underrated them .. LOL .. u dunno what you are talking about everyone loves this group and know they are gifted talent
My god there’s no end to this young man’s talent!!!! And all of the musicians here are wonderful - thanks!
Remember theyre a team. dont discount the others please, though I know thats not your intention.
@@7626728 as I said... "And all of the musicians here are wonderful "
@@StephMagentaBreathwork and thats called separation :) harizma of Ren is obvious but they are (were) all a bend that gets credit for this form and I am sure Ren doesn't separate 'em as much as people do :)
@@ammarbolukbasi4058it’s funny how you think Ren would police art enjoyers like that. I’m a die hard Ren fan. And I recognize talent. All of them are insanely talented. This song fills me with joy
I wish that rooftop was near me so I could listen to this all the time :(
thanks tini
Tini Real music , makes a change from the rubbish on the radio ....
@@taraalan1131
You lucky one :D
This IS mixed properly. I fucking hate when they do this fake videos outside to make them look cool, relaxed, just improvising but the material is recorded in studio. It's dubbing, that's what it is.
The best cover I ever heard of Manu Chaos' work!
The way their voices just intertwine. I'll never grow tired of these three men! ♡♡♡
I’m 60 suffer from depression nearly all my life just found your videos your fantastic be proud of yourself bab I’d be proud if you was my son god bless xx
you are keeping us folks alive
no no no, YOU do
You really do if you actually think about it ❤
Gutted that i haven't discovered this band, these musicians sooner. Beautiful.
This should be one of the biggest bands in the world🤘🏻🤘🏻
I cant believe you do a cover of this song. I have loved this tune for years and only just discovered your music, it makes me like your stuff even more. I know you probably wont even read this but thanks anyway. xx
I’ve realized why so many 55+ year olds love your music..it’s because you PLAY MUSIC! Actual instruments being strummed, beat and mused into perfect tune. ❤. No synthetic sounds…God I Love Music!
love when the bass comes in
The way this guy vibe on the ukulele !!! Amazing band !!
Haha, cheers mate!
Romain is god tier in his own right.
@@thetalantonx seconded thats why they work so well
@@mehere6865 spare a thought for the other guy whose name i've forgotten, he's had a nice haircut
It's not very often that someone special comes along, I feel so lucky to witness this amazing artist 😜🙃
Love the arrangement and solos. Its amazing how already known hits give a chance to new artists to show their talent. Really good
2024 still here listening to you fabulous musicians
I was smiling and bouncing up and down while watching, well because this song is so much fun . And they sang and played their instruments to perfection, and that bass line gives me life . This is not the first time I have watched this video nor will it be my last. It gives me so much joy , I love it .
I’ve loved Manu Chao Manu Negro for 30 years seen them live all over the world and you guys absolutely killed it , Amazing from all of you 🙌🙌🙌
I can’t stop listening to this
Me neither for real
Legendary.💛
That french part was spot on.👏
dope! thanks :D
He’s the little French boy
What's the French to English translation?🙏
just when you thought all the musical geniuses had long gone, along come these guys. Can't stop watching. This is the first time that i have ever felt it necessary to add a comment on You Tube. Truly talented performances with soul, integrity and passion.
This is absolutely my favourite cover of this song. Can't stop listening to it on repeat!
This is an artist pure talent no autotune, amazing mix
So good!
Every single aspect.
The bass, the uke, Rens range and his technical skill on that guitar.
The way the three of you flow together so smoothly.
I keep coming back to this.
I wish I'd discovered you guys sooner.
October 2024. Love this cover so much-I watch this every other month at least ❤️
Magnifique version du morceau de Manu Chao
I've discovered this rabbit hole a bit late, but here I come!
Amazing ! KING OF THE BONGO BONG !! 💯
Remeber listening to this song in the 90's, memories...
Magnifique cover ! Bravo à tous !
Je connaissais Ren pour avoir écouté et décortiqué ses morceaux, en solo ou duo (chinchila) et j'ai aimé tout de suite sa sensibilité et son intelligence à travers ses textes, ainsi que son grand talent de musicien et sa vision novatrice et authentique de l'expression musicale, pour ma part.
Ses amis ici présents, très doués et tout aussi artistiquement sensibles, donnent à ce cover une nouvelle fraicheur.
C'est vraiment superbe. Merci The Big Push ❤
Three guys looking so cool!
❤ Everything Ren, from the second I heard Chalk Outlines and then Hi Ren about a month ago. The 1st day I heard him, I went down a Ren rabbit hole listening to anything, and everything I could by/with him!
oh my god, they have so much fun playing this... the smile of the ukulele player, its so infectious... the whole song is!
We are playing at the Brighton Dome on September 9th!
This is going to be the biggest show we’ve put on so far, in such a special venue, and for many reasons that we won’t go into just now, this is going to be our last show for a long time. If you've ever wanted to see us perform live this is the time to do it.
Tickets on sale Friday 17th 10am.
Let’s make it unforgettable.
Love you all.

Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 you guys are truly incredible and I keep coming back to your music 🎶
You are really good! I never had the chance to see you live while I was living in the UK, but I hope sometime you start doing international tours and come to Toronto :)
Hope you make it out to Santa Cruz CA someday
For reasons we won’t go into: the big push is coming to an end! Great shame but you guys have not only inspired, but motivated and helped people through some very difficult times! Your music has always been a go to for me in tough times! Thankyou for always entertaining! The big push forever!❤️
Haven't heard it yet, but I already know this about to be the highlight of my day.
Aaaw, thanks so much
*OF THE WEEK
Their harmonies are brilliant, as is their playing. Love it.
Ren and the big push has became most of my playlist! Love it. Keep it coming sirs.
DUDE I just heard this version for the first time. life changing. LOL well done!
I remember this when it came out. Still got my Manu Chao CD. Gosh you’ve done it justice, what a talented bunch of blokes you are. Big love.
It’s even better than the original. It has a richer sound.
Rapping in French? 😮🤯 Yes, please! These guys are insanely talented. Is there any limit to their abilities?
The answer is an obvious big fat NO‼️
Check out The French Song on Ren's UA-cam channel. It's a rap song, combining English and French, done by Ren and Romain. It's awesome! ❤
The band is called Manu Chao. We were all singing Spanish, French, Portuguese in the 90s woop!
The mandolin player is French 🤷♂️
This is my favourite. When I think of service to humanity, I think of you guys and this song. My body can't help but start bopping.
You guys are pure joy to listen to, thank you so much 😍
I'm so happy Ren got popular now ppl get to see all his awesome stuff :)))))
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me
I'm the king of Bongo
Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to big city
Looking for a bigger crown
But I play my Boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come
They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place
For little monkey in this town
So I play my Boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien n'avoir
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te voir
Car je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te revoir
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien savoir
Non, je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tout les jours
Banging on my Boogie
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo
Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come,baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come,baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo bong
Here is the translation of the french part if anyone is interested ^^
I don't love you anymore, my love (Je ne t'aime plus mon amour)
I don't love you anymore, every day (Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours)
I don't love you anymore, my love (Je ne t'aime plus mon amour)
I don't love you anymore, every day (Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours)
Sometimes I would like to die so much I wanted to believe (Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire)
Sometimes I'd like to die to have nothing left (Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien n'avoir)
Sometimes I'd like to die to never see you (Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te voir)
Because I don't love you anymore, my love (Car je ne t'aime plus mon amour)
Sometimes I would like to die so much I wanted to believe (Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire)
Sometimes I'd like to die to never see you again (Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te revoir)
Sometimes I'd like to die to know nothing more (Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien savoir)
No, I don't love you anymore, my love (Non, je ne t'aime plus mon amour)
I don't love you anymore, my love (Je ne t'aime plus mon amour)
I don't love you anymore, every day (Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours)
Ah I thought it was bangin on my boobie😂
@@liliwater I thought this was about a little monkey that could play the bongo
Wicked, Thank you ❤
Thanks ❤
How they heck are they always so tight and clean....like it's done in a studio.
It’s called musicianship
Practice, practice, practice 😊
If you look up Ren and his own music you can see he has a lot of experience with recording his music “live” while performing his songs. Music production can be insanely expensive - but if you’re smart and talented enough, you can do great things like this cover song.
Wow … just found REN… you’re art, I get big time bard energy
Watching and listening and foot tapping
Very Kool
This is epic great song great cover ren is so talented and i love the fact he hasnt sold his sole for a record deal ren please dont change with fame and fortune
Absolutely adore everything about this! Can't stop watching it over and over again. So good.
Thatd amazing! Thank you so much ❤
@@TheBigPushBand Just want to add one more thing. Whenever I'm not in a good mood or feel down, all I have to do is to watch this video. It lifts my spirit instantaneously. I honestly don't know any other music video that has this kind of effect on me. You somehow got a perfect mix of music, performace, and atmosphere that resonates with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
These cats seems to have so much fun playing music. I love it!
Whenever I feel miserable this song makes me smile. I wanna be on that roof terrace with a glass of wine and some chilled vibes too. Reminds me of being in Marrakech....
No puedo creer que hicieran un cover de manu chao
Osuper cover very amazig
Insane!!! What I wouldn’t give to pull up a chair and chill with you guys playing. Incredible
Holy shit! Sting must be so pleased. REN knows NO END. 🔥💥Dude… what don’t you do?! Thanks for the continued inspiration. Keep bringing it!
This comment was actually meant for his cover of Englishman in New York.. technology woes. But to he sure …ALL of REN’s stuff is tight. Right!
Brilliant best so glad I found you guys, best find since Passenger…..
Qué maravilla joder. I mean I never thought you'd cover Manu Chao, you've just made my day! Wonderful cover guys! Love from Spain!
haha, great! i'm glad you liked it, lots of love to you
es que son unos máquinas
son muuuy buenos la verdad
omg god YOU 3 are so good , all every all you all do is so ...
I'm a first nation Native of Canada and this is by far the best music I have heard in a min. Real talk.
This by faaaaaar some of the best music I've heard in the last 2 decades....all success is moooore than worthy....but at the end of the day it's just about the music.....& You can surely hear that in this music 💯💯💯💯👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Just discovered these guys tonight. There's no way I'm sleeping tonight!
Haha, excellent
I'm right now, fuck 😍 they're amazing 💜
Le meilleur cover de Manu Chao. BRAVO !
Merci les garçons! Vous me rammenez à mes étés d'il y a .. vingt ans déjà! Un tel bonheur! Quel talent et une si belle fusion d'âmes. Thank you lads! This brought me back to my summers twenty years ago already. Such a joy. What talent and such a beautiful melding of souls.
I’m all in for this amazing artist and his band.. the gift of Ren!
Ren and musicians, thanks so much for honouring Manu Chao!
Love him and Mano Negra since seeing life in Geneva in 1994. And: you're my favorite musician of nowaday since having discovered "Hi Ren".
I keep coming back to this favourite! The Holy Trinity of Musicians in all they do! Hopefully they have a reunion!
This is such a fantastic cover of Bongo Bong....Manu I'm sure would love it....probably does.
You guys are brilliant individually and together....Thank you for posting so many of your videos.
Music is the food of love.
This is in competition with his original video of the song. Listened to it a thousand times! Thanks, Ren!
.. one of my favorite quotes is this..
''You cannot touch the same water twice'' - moonielinks
I just love this vibe of some friends chilling on a rooftob, enjoying some red wine and one's having the idea: "Boys let's grab the guitar, the mic's and the cam and sing bongo bong!"
Totally something I'd see myself doing with some friends as well, nice work mates!
Haha sick! Thanks man, that is very much the vibe aha
Top tune lads
I'm loving Romain in this one. He's the guy that you say, "I met the most interesting fellow at a party last night."
Oh so true
The first time I heard Ren, I told my friend he sounds a bit like Manu Chao. Finding this jewel now made me really happy.
I've never heard of the Big Push, but you guys are brilliant!
It seems I obtained a new habit which is to listen this cover every freaking month! It's gonna be a year anniversary soon! I love you guys. I really truly do :)
Haha aw that's so cool! Thanks so much helena, lots or love ❤
This song is so uplifting, I play it 20 times a day.
That bass line is just butter ❤
What an amazing band for me,only 1 of all that I'm really loving everything I have herd.
Ren is just pure amazing i wish more people would notice this talented man! His a legend ❤❤
"just so moooorish''
Wow! Ren needs to be made a world treasure!!! What a talent! HOLY SHIT
I play this multiple times daily and it never fails to make me smile and feel happy. Love you guys ❤
Props to the whole band... Friggin rock the socks of this cover. 🤘🔥💫
one of the best cover i heard, tres bien les gars
Tutti i video di questa Band sono bellissimi, danno l' idea di essere improvvisati mentre sono estremamente curati in ogni dettaglio, questo è veramente una perla 🥰
When I was 20, I saw Mano Negra en concert in Geneva. One of the best gigs un my life! Since then grand fan d'eux et de Manu Chao.
THANKS for retaking these songs, Ren. In such a good quality!!!
A part from that: "Hi Ren" reaches for me the high level of music as pink floyd reached with" the wall". Even if its completely different.
Ren is the most under appreciated and underrated musicians of today ❤ love your music it keeps me alive ❤
I never get tired of hearing this... Such a fun cover! 👍
Wow. Stunning. It’s difficult for me to find words every time I listen to your music. Breathtaking every single time. Such talent all around here.
Dear Ren, I found your music not very long ago and haven’t been able to stop listening since. You’re seriously amazing, so extremely talented as well as everyone else! If you’re ever in America I’d love to go on a date😅 lol. I’d fly to you too😂 even if you never see this thank you guys for your music!
This was a great comment
