The long-awaited Florida debut of Manu Chao takes place September 30th at Bayfront Park’s Klipsch Amphitheater. The iconic status Manu Chao has found as a globetrotting solo singer crosses all boundaries between Latin Alternative, politically-charged protest rock, and world music.

 

Manu Chao, the French singer of Spanish origin (Basque and Galician) is the most popular multicultural artist in the world today. Singing in French, Spanish, English, Galician, Arabic and Portuguese and combining various musical styles, Chao began his career in Paris in groups such as Hot Pants and Los Carayos. Along with friends and his brother Antoine Chao, he founded the groundbreaking band Mano Negra in 1987, achieving considerable success, particularly in Europe. He became a solo artist in 1995, and since then tours regularly. The releases Clandestino (1998) and Proxima Estacion: Esperanza (2001) became international essentials.  His latest CD La Radiolina is an adrenaline-filled journey in his unique style.

 

Here is the artist whose name and style have become an adjective.  Journalists and other bands often compare themselves to Manu Chao, and reference his sound as the touchstone of the genre.  Manu Chao is the real deal, the original, the source.

 

“Manu Chao sings in six languages, but he’s world music’s great cross-cultural hope because his best songs transcend all of them… With its easy melody and universal rhythm” Me Llaman Calle” walks proudly in the shadow of Bob Marley, the last guy who made world music this disarmingly simple.” – Time magazine

 

Tickets are $33.50, available through Ticketmaster outlets or the Fillmore box office, or at area outlets with no service fees like Sweat Records (Miami), BASE (Miami Beach) and Radio Active Records (Fort Lauderdale).
