Yes we can Barack Music video

I think this Barack Obama video is the tipping point of the election… it feels like it. That “yes we can” speech was amazing, but how many people took the time to see it or think about it? You put some celebs around it (can Scarlett Johansson sing?!) and a nice beat and you’ve got a movement.

This thing will be playing in the club in a techno remix next week…. 100% sure of that.

People want to be part of a movement, and Barack is a movement… this vdieo really sends that home. This video pulls are your heart strings and your soul. It’s very, very well done.

Notes on the video from Mahalo: “Yes We Can” is a music video by Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas incorporating a speech in New Hampshire by presidential candidate Barack Obama. It features a host of celebrity cameos, including Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Nick Cannon and Herbie Hancock.

Fast Facts:

  1. Video directed by Bob Dylan’s son Jesse
  2. Recorded at Ether and Record Plant in Los Angeles on January 30-31, 2008
