I have just had an amazing and also very surprising visit to Timor Leste. In addition to the honour of receiving the Medal of Timor from the President out of the blue it seems my 2007 song Oh Le Le Le, has gone viral. Apparently more than 400,000 Youtube viewings in the past month or so in this little island nation alone. Everywhere I went, in restaurants, on the street, people came up and ask to take selfies with me. Who would have thought after all this time it would be a major hit? Thanks to the amazing video shot by film maker Ian White, whose documentary on Nick Cave’s Birthday Party won major international acclaim. His video of Oh Le Le Le was shot in the charred ruins of Timor when the smoke had cleared from the conflict, along with plenty of smiles of hope.
