Free Music Review: what's new?
Hit: 3 Stars
A new cd after a long time, but it's a bit more of the same- which is okay by itself, but not an improvement on Clandestino or Esperanza.Free Music Review: Best yet...
Hit: 5 Stars
I've read some reviews that said this album wasn't as good as his others.
Not true!
It's the best yet, to my taste.
Softer, yes... More thoughtful... yes... richly layered, complex, perhaps not as hard or dark of a sound as in moments passed... this is a real gem of an album... it takes a few listens to get everything going on... it's really well produced and really well written...
I don't blow smoke: this is a great album... there's a lot going on... Magical, at times...

MAnu Chao's hard to digest. He's definetly an aqcuired taste for most of the people: you either like him or not. Even so, it's easy to anyone in the world to relate to his lyrics, specially for latin americans, that's why he's so popular here.
This album's great. It's so refreshing to listen to something new from Manu. Radio Bemba was great, but with only a few new songs (e.g. Rumba de Barcelona) he left us fans wanting more... and sheesh! hem ade us wait!!
But the wait was worth. La Clandestina is your typical MAnu Chao album, full of latin/flamenco/gypsy/african influences with lyrics that deal with society and political issues.
With all the trash music that's produced today in the music business it's always good to count on artist with something to say.
Favorite tracks: Me llaman calle, Besoin de la Lune, Rainin in paradize.

La Radiolina is a fun album. It has a very live feel to it. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Most of the songs are <2 minutes, and are really acoustic-guitar heavy. Definitely different than previous albums, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.Free Music Review: Watch out Al Gore!
Hit: 4 Stars
Politics and peacemaking aside this is a fun album. After listening to the fine production work he did on Amadou and Mariam's excellent "Dimanche A Bamako" a few years back (check it out if you're not familiar - it rocks!), I can here strains of that album here as well. "Politics is Violence" for example, is a reworking of a cut from that earlier album. While the Afro influences are much more subdued here, "Radiolina" is a sum of many World elements. Just wish some of the good cuts were a bit longer for extra enjoyment!
