Listen to Clandestino his first album, the lyrics are still relevant to this day. This dude actually speaks more than 6 languages, his life story it’s fascinating. He does a lot of activism and probably has been in every little corner of the world. I live in the middle of fucking nowhere (Neuquen, Argentina) and Manu has been more than one time near my home, doing free concerts and protesting along the working class. I always knew him as the guy of “Me gustas tu” but this quarantine I’ve discovered him and his music and I have never felt so connected to an artist before. PRÓXIMA ESTACIÓN: ESPERANZA

More than a decade back now, I was walking in a random, central neighbourhood in Athens, Greece when I head his songs coming through the square. At first, I figured someone had put their stereo on max but as I got closer to the square I realised there was a dude with a guitar singing and sounded just like him. Once I got to the square I realised that it WAS him. Heard he had a musician friend in the area he was visiting and he was just sitting in the square singing while waiting. What a legend.

Manu Chao is of Franco-Spanish origin and his style is quite indefinable. We can classify it in "world music" but it is much more than that in my opinion. He is influenced by Spanish music and reggae yes... but also by rock 'n' roll, punk, ska ... You should listen to his old band Mano Negra ... incredible ! I saw it in concert twice ... each time 3 hours to 3 and a half hours, a crazy atmosphere... and certainly the most exhausting concerts in which I participated with Rage Against The Machine :p. Manu chao is generous, committed, sincere ... a great man !

Manu Chao was the lead singer and guitarist for La Mano Negra, a french band from the late 80s/90s. They played a combination of rock, reggae, ska, early hip-hop, arabic, latin and even french folk/traditional music, and sang in French, English, Spanish and Arabic. Deffo recommend listening to standards like "King Kong Five", "Mala Vida", "Sid'h Bibi" (the live version is truly amazing) or "Rock Island Line". A personal favourite is "Bragg Jack". Also, I know people have already "requested" The Clash, a band that combined many genres with punk-rock and had an immense influence on La Mano Negra, and I guarantee you won't regret it :)

Hi Jamal.Manu Chao is a french artist from Paris. He user to be the lead singer of a band called Mano Negra. They play rock, ska, reggae, latino, funk..Take a hear to a song called King Kong Five. This one will Give you a vision of what their music was. Manu Chao runs a solo carrier since 15 years, travelling round the world helping as he can the poorest populations, giving shows, collecting money and make things happen like building schools.. He is an activist, and politically engaged. In some ways Manu Chao's is a french Zach de la Rocha. Both of them are not just singing, they believe on what they are telling, and they want us to wake up, free our minds and resist any kind of discrimination or liberty restriction.. As I write, I recommand to you 2 songs : Township Rebellion from RATM (studio version is the best, killer bass line, killer Morello's guitar riff, incredible flow ans lyrics from Zach, as always) and the 2nd is : Digging for Windows from Zach de la Rocha, Alone. You ll live it. Take care, One Love from Paris CYRIL

The dude has a very unique style because of his cultural heritage and his musical influences. He's French but he's of Spanish descent, and his music incorporates many different influences. He was originally the lead singer of the band Mano Negra. React to their songs "Mala Vida" and "King Kong 5," I think you'll dig them. He mostly sings in Spanish, but often includes lyrics in French, English and other languages.
