Dire Straits has a legacy of many widely popular songs, but “Sultans of Swing” is probably the most memorable one.
It was their first single and it made the band members superstars. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this song has been covered many times and plenty of different musicians have given it a different swing.
This video came to life when Miguel Montalban, a talented musician from Chile, performed the song in London. His street performance attracted many people and gave a little spark to a cold January day.
This video probably has one of the best random intros on YouTube.
The video begins with Miguel sitting on his chair and tuning his instrument when a person filming the whole thing says “I love this.” We can guess, by those words, that Montalban is probably a well-known street performer in London and that the person has heard him before and loves his work.
The way Montalban plays is exceptional and that kind of talent can easily attract many people! In the background, people can be seen dancing to this catchy tune. They are obviously very entertained.
