Who is Manu Chao

Ranked #17,165 in Culture & Society, #344,273 overall | Donates to Acumen Fund

So, what's his music like?

Manu Chao's infectous sound is a blend of latin, french and reggae beats, leading to a unique musical experience that WP writer, Richard Harrington, describes as a combo of "bracing punk rock, folkloric pop, lilting reggae, frentic ska and sinewy salsa." Whether Manu is banging on his bongo, or jamming out on his guitar, he will take you on a trip that can only be likened to a musical carnival.

Manu Chao Concert in Austin, Texas

I was fortunate enough to see Manu Chao perform his Radio Bemba tour in Austin. Let me tell you, THAT was an experience! What I like most about him is that his music attracts all types of people from all over the world. If you don't speak one of the many languages he sings in, just sit back and enjoy the show or get out there and boogie. Sooner or later, a song will come up that you can sing along to. Who knows, you may even learn some phrases in other languages. How enlightening -jamming out while expanding your mind!
