| | Biography - Manu Chao |
| | Manu's album was far from being an upbeat dance-oriented affair, however. | | | Manu was also a passionate music fan and when he was not playing football he was to be found sitting in front of the radio or the family record-player, listening to Chuck Berry or songs from the Spanish revolution. | | | By the end of the year, however, Manu's solo album not only ended up being one of the top-selling albums in France but also one of the best-selling French albums abroad. |

| | Amazon.com: Clandestino - Esperando La Ultima Ola: Music: Manu Chao |
| | Manu Chao is, culturally and musically, a renaissance man. He has a strong affinity for comprehending universal states of humanity (heartache and struggle for justice) and translating them into a variety of idioms, both lyrical and musical. | | | Manu Chao's politically charged populist lyrics alone are worth listening to no matter your political leanings, and his music entrances you such that each time you come back to an old friend. | | | Chao has a nasal voice that is very entertaining and fits quite nicely with the acoustic guitar work. |

| | Manu Chao: lyrics, mp3, discography, pictures, biography - Onda Rock |
| | Manu Chao has been for a long time the voice of Mano Negra, the French anarchic group that launched the Latin rock, a mixture of South American rhythm with the Clash punk style. | | | Lately, Manu Chao has come back with his first solo album "Clandestino": sixteen songs (twelve in Spanish, English and Portuguese and two in French) that showed all the power of his music wanderings. | | | The album sold more than three million copies and Manu Chao became also a political icon for the "people of Seattle" and for the poorest of the Latin America. |

| | Manu Chao's "Proxima Estacion: Esperanza" CD review on AudioRevolution.com |
| | Manu Chao makes music for an imaginary universe in which labels, genres and categorizations mean nothing at all and where stylistic possibilities are virtually endless. | | | Then there is a song like "Denia," which rides on the waves of briskly strummed acoustic guitars, filled out with group-sung vocals and sporting what sounds like tooted recorder accompaniment. | | | But Chao can’t sing a song completely straight, oh no, so his lyrics here alternate back and forth between French and English. |

| | Manu Chao deserves all the accolades he's received for this album. | | | Since Chao is the type of singer whose songs are best heard in a small club, the disc has an intimate feel about it. | | | A hybrid of languages and rhythms, he doesn't sacrifice lyrical substance for musicality. |

| | Manu Chao : Clandestino - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Chao's voice tends to be a bit nasally, but the best songs ("Mentira," "Mama Call," and the silly novelty "Bongo Bong") here benefit from his infectious, freewheeling delivery which incorporates balladry, chorus vocals, rapping, and tossed-off spoken-word passages. | | | The first solo album released by the former frontman of Mano Negra, Clandestino is an enchanting trip through Latin-flavored worldbeat rock, reliant on a potpourri of musical styles from traditional Latin and salsa to dub to rock & roll to French pop to experimental rock to techno. | | | There are so many great ideas on this record that it's difficult to digest in one listen, but multiple plays reveal the great depth of Manu Chao's artistry. |

| | Manu Chao would seem to be the perfect artist to release a live album. | | | Chao and his big band work at a blinding pace, skipping from song to song at triple time and tearing through 28 songs in just over an hour. | | | But even a performer as explosive as Chao can't compensate for the restrictions of recording a straight-up live album. |

| | With his solo album "Clandestino", the former leader of the band Lo Mano Negra uses multicultural sounds to compose tunes like "Lagrimas de Oro" and "Je ne T'Aime Plus" which are only two of the quirkiest songs on the album (if you translate them, they're even more amusing). | | | Whether or not Latin music is your favorite, Manu Chao is an awesome artist. | | | Using three languages has influenced not only the lyrics, but also the fun sounds and rhythms of Chao's tunes. |

| | Stylistically, Esperanza follows trends established in Clandestino including a couple of riffs that are lifted verbatim from the previous album and given new vocal tracks. | | | The music is in constant motion, while melody is catchy without being insistent. | | | Whether he's addressing social decay or broken hearts, Chao seems to challenge the listener to do something about it, in the here and now. |

| | village voice > music > Manu Chao, Proxima Estacion: Esperanza by Enrique Lavin |
| | A song by that title appears on Clandestino, which he recorded largely with a portable eight-track, and which by any measure is a masterpiece in the vein of Imagine or Natty Dread. | | | In the five years between 1993, when Mano Negra fell apart, and 1998, when his first solo album, Clandestino, was released, Chao sought a singular singer-songwriter identity. | | | Infectious songs like the bittersweet "Welcome to Tijuana" and the reworkings of three Mano Negra classics elevated Chao to cult status in Europe and Latin America, where the album sold more than 2 million copies. |

| | Dec 99 Mongrel Music: Manu Chao |
| | On Clandestino, Manu Chao, a Mexican musician and former leader of the group Manu Negra, mixes salsa, rock, and dub in a manner reminiscent of the Tom Tom Club's feel-good electronica. | | | His songs are complex and densely textured, yet they sound obvious. | | | This snippet from track 10, sung off-key in deliciously laid-back, loopy style, fortuitously rhymes in translation: "Welcome to Tijuana, tequila, sex, or marijuana?" Alas, it does not convey the wit. |

| | Manu Chao is worth his weight in Inca gold for creating an album like this. | | | Listen to the cascading vocals of "Eldorado 1997", the accelerated cartoon ska of "Promiscuity", the lunatic swing of "Trapped By Love" or the perverted cabaret oompah of "Papito", each song weaving into the next, the mulching getting ever more manic as this album races towards its climax. | | | 1998s Clandestino solo debut was one of the absolute cross-genre classics of the last decade, its blur of short songs prompted by Chao's persistent globe-trawling, coming across like a postcard collage of melodies, modes, found sounds and even languages. |

| | The real music earthquake, however, was undoubtedly the Mano Negra, whose contribution to multicultural and fiesta music has left indelible marks and influenced a huge numbers of bands that came later. | | | After the break-up of Mano Negra during their Colombian adventure, Manu created Radio Bemba: more of a group of friends than a collectivity of musicians. | | | As he himself says, if in his home there had been a football, now he would be playing soccer, but there was a guitar, instead...as well as many refugees : intellectuals, singers, composers, painters...all fleeing south American dictatorships. |
