iTunes Review

La Radiolina is the first release in six years by French-born singer/songwriter/guitarist Manu Chao, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been busy. More a live act than a recording artist for the past decade, he tours regularly around the world (particularly in Europe and Latin America where he has large and loyal fan bases) absorbing styles and sounds and mixing them into a cultural stew that is unforced and unique and includes vocals in several languages. Of the 21 tunes on La Radiolina nearly half run less than two minutes, and though a few of these vignettes sound similar enough to be interchangeable, overall the approach keeps the album moving along and gives it the feel of a complete work rather than just a collection of unrelated songs. Backed by a strong and versatile band, there are countless subtle touches that go a long way, including horns, assorted percussion, and layers of electronica and ambient sound. There’s also a ton of great guitar here ranging from crisp finger picking to driving, feedback drenched lead lines that add punch to the many rockers on the album. With its catchy melodies, impassioned, political lyrics, and swirl of Latin beats, Afrobeat, folk, and rock and roll, La Radiolina is another stunner by the multicultural troubadour.

Manu Chao Rocks Again!!!

I just saw him live in Vancouver and this album does not disappoint! Upbeat and dark at the same time, Manu Chao addresses the issues of our day and age with an energy and a love for humanity that transcends all the pain and woe. The music is amazing as usual!

Enfin !

Biography

Born: June 26, 1961 in Paris, France

Genre: Alternative and Latin Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Manu Chao helped begin the Latin alternative movement way back in the '80s — although it had no name then — and in his later work he cut a cross-cultural swath across styles and geographic boundaries. Chao was born on June 26, 1961, in Paris to Spanish parents — his father, Ramon Chao, a respected writer, comes from Galicia, his mother Bilbao. Growing up bilingual, he was also influenced by the punk scene across the English Channel that happened while he was still in his teens....
