Manu Chao is an icon around the World and particularly in South America. I spent some time in Mexico and it was hard not to hear his Music almost everywhere you went, from bars and clubs to buskers performing covers on the street. His Music will always remind me of that brilliant time in my life. Clandestino is a great example of why he is so beloved, its a radical song in solidarity with the dispossessed of the World, the refugees, the immigrants and down-trodden. There is something of the spirit of Bob Marley in Manu Chaos Music. There is a beautiful blending of Reggae, Latin, Folk and Pop in his Music that I greatly admire. I love the humorous quirky Radio-jingle samples, not to mention his multi-lingual lyrics.
