One small step for Salvatore, one giant leap for Ganacci.

[laranxart]

"be judged"
"prove your true worth"
"gain new fans"
"leave"

Thank you, Salvatore, for taking us to America.

[Spizzmatic]

Thank you SNK for bringing Salvatore to America!

As a Bosnian, I will try to reveal a couple of things that Salvatore showed in this video:
1) the opening scene shows an old house which is typical for the Bosnian countryside, where Salvatore (real name Emir Kobilic) or his parents are probably from
2) Volkswagen Golf Mark II (especially white) was the most popular car in the country for a very long time. It is almost stereotypical!
3) the mountains in the background are very common, as Bosnia has a lot of mountains
4) The older lady watching TV inside the house is actually watching at a music video of a famous Yugoslavian singer Lepa Brena. Salvatore was born in Yugoslavia, so he (and his parents) could be Yugo-Nostalgic (common term representing people that are craving for the good old days when Balkan countries were together as one)
5) The name on the green card is Vedad Misimovic. This could be a combination of a name and surname of two famous Bosnian football/soccer players: Vedad Ibisevic and Zvjezdan Misimovic (true legends in the country's national team). Football is, among music, Salvatore's biggest love.
6) As many people already mentioned in the comments, the main sample is from a popular Bosnian band - Dubioza Kolektiv. They mostly sing about social, political and economic problems of the country, including the migration of young people.
7) In the end of the video, even when he fixes the TV, the old lady again gives him ''the look'', which could be another funny stereotype where no matter what you do, you will be blamed :D

If somebody recognised other things as well, add a comment! Such a fun video that made my day :D

[AbsoluteMotivation]

Words cannot express how much I love this guy and his eccentric persona

[yeah]

It was beautiful. Im glad Salvatore showed us a glimpse of bosnia at the end too

[Mage_Nichlas_]

Thank you Max for turning me onto this song.

[thugkermit]

I like to believe that the only English he learned on his American stay was “I love you mr President” and he managed to get through just on stares alone

[MaxKissler]

Glad to see Salvatore & Ganacci out there again.

[AJ_UK_LIVE]

Absolutely glorious. I hope that one day, when Salvatore returns to his people, he will once again remember his smile.

[ATX-psss]

We will all scream "I'M FROM BOSNIA, TAKE ME TO AMERICA" from the top of our lungs at some festival next summer, trust me.

[deltavtek]

Veliko hvala Salvatoreu sto nam je donio internet iz amerike da mozemo i mi poslusat ovo remek djelo

[Neild]

So epic. Tells a better story in 4 minutes than Hollywood can do with 2 hours

[prestonmaguines]

3:20 This was brilliant on so many levels that I was speechless, what an incredible thing, damn Ganacci is culture

[adrien_chauvet]

The weirdness of your universe is refreshing. And your tracks are bouncy!

[antp]

As an immigrant from eastern Europe: this is my favorite video of Salvatore G. Not living up to family's high expectations at the end is just perfect. I love this song.

[groovercrusader]

Salvatore Ganacci is the patch to my Daft Punk wound, thank you, good sir

[omarcuso]

He literally went to another state, graduated from a school, got married, had children, got into an important job, stole blueprints of an important building, made the whole city have a blackout for an unknown amount of time just to get the right cable for his mother's TV.
The determination of this man is too great for us to comprehend
Edit: as someone pointed out he didn't have kids, he just stole them from the neighbors wich makes it even funnier
Edit 2:people also pointed out that it's the wrong cable because it did not play the right show that mother was watching

[samsalin]

This guy's ability to put story lines in his music videos is amazing.
