THE BAND & DIEGO MARADONA
Hi there Party People!
I just found this article about Diego Maradona (dated Jan 8 2006).
Anyway, it's about how he managed to survive to a terrible illness, and then the writer tells a story about an encounter with Diego and Jamiroquai:
| Quote: |
| One afternoon I had lunch with one of Diego's closest friends, Fabian von Quintiero, a rock musician who also runs the Soul Cafe, a bar where Maradona has celebrated many landmarks in his life. 'I believe in him as a footballer and as an artist,' he told me. 'The thing about Diego is that he cheers people up.' He uses a word that has no translation to describe the effect Maradona has on all who meet him : arenga. This means, broadly, to egg on, to give encouragement. He recalls a night when singer Jay Kay, from Jamiroquai, and friends visited his bar, but the atmosphere was flat. 'I asked Diego to come over. I told him that there were some English folk here who needed to be shown a good time. Diego said he'd finish his supper and then come down. When he walked in the English guys fell to their knees, weeping tears of joy. It was wonderful.' |
I frequent that bar, it's in my neighborhood, and I didn't know the band had visited it! I wonder when did they have?
I didn't know either they had met Diego Maradona!
But what really surprises me here, is that Jay Kay & company were there, and the atmosphere was flat ? Wot do you people think about this?

I don't know... but maybe we've just found the starting point for Jay's coke addiction...
