Europe is rich in talent.

In places where there is a lot of tourism, many people there make a living by performing music on the streets. These entertainers are not only great at their craft, but they also have their ways to attract a crowd.

Brighton’s streets are full of aspiring musicians, and it is not uncommon to see one or two of them performing on the same street.

That said, it is quite a hustle for these aspiring musicians as it develops a sense of rivalry between them and their fellow performers.

Even so, some musicians choose to combine their talents to climb their way to the top.

That was the case for the four talented performers in this video.

They met each other busking along with Glenn Chambers a drummer, and together they created a band named The Big Push, sharing the same goal: use their talent in music to rise into fame.

With their differences in musical styles, they still managed to find a way to create one distinct sound that describes them best.

This Brighton band attempted to perform a Manu Chao classic and they nailed every bit of it.

Manu Chao is a singer-songwriter that is known worldwide for his great contribution to the music industry.

He is a musician who travels all around the world playing his music which has a combined variety of languages and musical styles. His first hit “Bongo Bong” was what made people interested in his music.

A group in Brighton called The Big Push knew the song and decided to take a shot on it.

In the video, the trio was having a drink on the rooftop while they brought their instruments with them.

The guitarist led the group to start their intro with a quick count and the rest followed with a kick-ass instrumental. It was amazing how the guy could simultaneously spit the lyrics while keeping up with his fingers on the guitar.

They crushed the song with an epic display of their skills as musicians.

The bassist has done a good job adding more oomph to their rhythm while the one on the ukulele complemented their music with its high-pitched notes. Moreover, their three-way harmony on the chorus was such a treat to the ears!
