A musical globalista with a rebel rock 'n' roll heart, there's nobody quite like Manu Chao. Multilingual and multicultural, Manu has been called the natural heir to Joe Strummer and Bob Marley and serves as an inspiration to the world's downtrodden and dispossessed. A huge star in Latin America and elsewhere, he draws audiences in excess of 100,000 strong around the globe.

"Clandestino seemed to look both backwards to a time when songs meant something, when people thought music could change the world, and forwards to a new globalised pop. At the cross-fade of the millennium, it sounded perfect – a radical pop masterpiece that united, irresistibly, a European and South American perspective." - Peter Culshaw

"Born in France to Spanish parents, Chao recorded these songs – written in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese – as a nomad. The tunes segue into one another, from the bouncy "Desaparecido" to the sensuous "Bongo Bong." - #8 on Rolling Stones 10 Greatest Latin Rock Albums of All Time

"One of the most important musicians in the world." - Chris Blackwell (Founder of Island Records)
