‘Hit a Flamingo’ speaks about hitting a flamingo – the symbol of love, affection, and beauty – and breaking his thin legs. The song hints at the increasingly ruthless, unethical world we live in today. Performed by Christophe Jaquet, the track ends with London-based producer and video artist Michael Calandra Achode. His words seem to warn us, ‘This is the beginning of what will happen in the next fifty years. It’s good if you start documenting that. Because the impact will be quite strong’.

‘Hit a flamingo, with an old sneaker, break his thin legs, record the break, and sell it online’.
