Borat NOT in Kazakhstan
Posted by ePlus on 10 November, 2006 at 0:42 amJust by coincidence I came across the original soundtrack (OST) of the Borat movie only to find….
…What it looked like two Romanian songs! One is Stefan de la Barbulesti - Eu vin acasa cu drag and the other O.M.F.O. - Magic Mamaliga.
Though it is important to note that the first song Stefan de la Barbulesti - Eu vin acasa cu drag which is the actual theme song of the movie, is sang by a gypsy, so though not really Romanian, but still, close to.
(In Romania gypsy music is very popular, probably tops pop-music, but it is very popular)
The clip below are the first four minutes of the Borat movie:
Though as much as “Borat” or also known as Sacha Baron Cohe, who is best know for being the “Ali G” character is trying to make people belive that he is recording in actual Kazakhstan, though the truth is far from that (or at least from what I could see in those first four minutes). The true location of the recording lies somewhat 2127 miles west from Kazakhstan to somewhere in Romania.
Since when do the people that live in a remote village in Kazakhstan speak Romanian? And to me that village looks like a gypsy village… Yet again the gypsies strike again in giving Romanians a bad reputation, image and God knows what else. Disappointing to say the least.
But hey, I am still proud of where I come from, who I am and all that. So, who gives a shit what you think?
