Woodkid, a filmmaker and now musician. He made this music video too.
Probably an old video from Iron and Wine, but I’ve never seen it before. Is this the Flamenco? Exquisite. Love the delicate, quick hand movements.

Just wanted to point out that my friend The Delusionist just completed a project in the style of a radio show. He calls it “Philly and Back Again”and is a comedic, modern interpretation of Tolkien’s The Hobbit. I had the pleasure of contributing my voice to the project, as the character Gloin.
