Default Manu Chao



I'm not a huge fan but given that his new album, La radiolina, has been given 5 stars in the latest Uncut I thought it was time a thread was made. There are a few incredible songs on it, namely Tristeza Maleza, La vida tombola, Me llaman Calle, and that's only after a few listens. It's loaded with south american nostalgia, reminiscent of Buena Vista Social Club at times, as well as Cesaria Evora. There's also a fair few rockabilly/reggae and whatnot tunes on there to mix it up a bit. So check it.

Manu Chao - Rainin' in paradize

His new album is fun, but I've only heard small amounts of his older stuff.

I have Clandestino. It's not bad, but becomes repetitive. I give it a blast now and again.

Manu Chao is great live. Perfect act for a summer festival. I was lucky to see him at Oxegen 06 and we were skanking to him while high on weed
