Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Up On The Hill

John Williams - Saturday 25.10.08, 07:00am

The Fun Lovin’ Criminals ‘live’ on Later With Jool Holland, performing Up On The Hill from the album 100% Colombian, whatever that means.
Fun Lovin’ Criminals are too cool for words, but their sound is always so tight. Beautiful latin jazz/funk/blues/hip-hop/pop. No-one else doe’s anything like it. Genuine quality music.
