David Byrne & the American Utopia band ft Topaz Jones performing Janelle Monae’s “hell you talmbout” in Austin TX on October 10th 2018

David Byrne covering Janelle Monae in the honorable tradition of sounding the names of those martyred by police violence. This is a hard chant to pull off without lots of percussion and chanters who can hit the beats with force. If you have two strong chanters and a few who can hold the beat though, you should try it: end your meeting with a round, or take it outside, or to the precinct, or to the courts.
