Rough rock guitarist Popa Chubby played at the Olympia in Paris on Sunday. The 63-year-old is considered one of the best guitarists in the world.

He played songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and a duet with Manu Lanvin. He is so in love with France that he could well come and settle there, writes Frida Ghitis. "I come from New York where we have the mafia!” he said.
