Rhythms del Mundo is a nonprofit collaborative album, which fuses an all-star cast of Cuban muscians including Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo of the the Buena Vista Social Club with tracks from US, UK and Irish artists such as U2, Coldplay, Sting, Jack Johnson and Maroon 5 , Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs and many others.
Album proceeds will benefit the environmental nonprofit organization Artists' Project Earth (APE), which raises funds for disaster relief efforts and climate change awareness. The artists on this album fully support the record as a show of commitment to the music and to the cause that it endorses.
The main recording sessions took place in Havana at Abdala Studios from April 2005 to June 2006. While the majority of the vocals remain the same, the musicans of the Buena Vista Social Club took the original orchestration from each song and created something utterly unique, casting their trademark mastery over each track.
The Dark of the Matinee
Coco Freeman Feat. Franz Ferdinand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes, find the eyes
Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow me, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine
I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All the clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like
Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow me, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine
So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it and
What I made is unclear, but his deference is and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow me, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine
The Dark of the Matinee by Coco Freeman Feat. Franz Ferdinand is a song that speaks to the struggle between academia, individualism, and self-discovery. The first verse speaks to the tension between the singer and the person with whom they are interacting. The suggestion of the nail being slid under the buttons of their blazer speaks to an intimate, almost uncomfortable closeness. Despite this, the person speaking suggests the other should only find their eyes because they do not want to engage in any sort of relationship beyond basic physical attraction.
The second verse speaks to the singer's frustration with the academic setting they find themselves in. They suggest that the person speaking should leave this academic factory and follow them to where they truly find meaning: the matinee. The matinee represents a place of escape and expression where one can truly be themselves. The singer suggests that finding oneself in the matinee during the dark of the matinee, a poetic phrase meaning the depths of the night, will be a transformative experience.
Overall, The Dark of the Matinee speaks to the desire to find oneself beyond societal conventions and the trap of academia. It speaks to the tension between intimacy and personal autonomy, leaving the listener with the belief that true liberation can only be found by following oneself beyond the status quo.

You take your white finger
You use your pale finger to do something
Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer
You play with the buttons on my blazer using your fingernail
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
You loosen up the worn-out wool and loosen the ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes, find the eyes
You want me to not look at you in the shoe but make eye contact instead
Find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
Look for me and walk behind me through hallways, dining halls, and records rooms
You must follow me, leave this academic factory
You have to come with me and get out of this academic institution
You will find me in the matinee
You can locate me in the afternoon movie performance
The dark of the matinee
The dim-lit afternoon show
It's better in the matinee
The afternoon show is preferable
The dark of the matinee is mine
I possess the dim-lit afternoon show
Yes it's mine
Indeed it belongs to me
I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally
I plan all my routes so that we can meet coincidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
I make you like me and tell you about the guys I despise
All the girls I hate
I also dislike several girls
All the words I hate
I have certain words that I dislike
All the clothes I hate
I don't like some clothes at all
How I'll never be anything I hate
I express my belief that I'll never become something I don't like
You smile, mention something that you like
You grin and talk about something you enjoy
How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like
You say that you would have a joyful life if you did the things you love
So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it and
Now I'm on BBC2, telling Terry Wogan what I achieved
What I made is unclear, but his deference is and his laughter is
Although what I did is vague, he still shows respect and laughs
My words and smile are so easy now
I speak and smile naturally now
Yes, It's easy now
Certainly, it's simple now
Yes, It's easy now
Certainly, it's simple now
