Manu Chao, and Mano Negra are all French.

I heard some of his works but didn't found it very appealing.

French are very open minded as Europeans. They hear music from all around the world, but they give me the impression of having a "looking down" attitude.

And that is what I perceive in "Clandestino". Is "academically" interesting as an exploration of a mix of African clues, French, English, a stereotyped image of a Mexican, and other things.

But out of a curiosity, I don't find it very appealing.
