	RFI Musique - - Manu Chao
		Manu Chao was born in Paris on 21 June 1961.
		Manu's father, Ramon, was a journalist but young Manu spent most of his free time hanging out playing football with the sons of workers from the Renault car factory (which was close to the family home).
		Manu was also a passionate music fan and when he was not playing football he was to be found sitting in front of the radio or the family record-player, listening to Chuck Berry or songs from the Spanish revolution.

	Manu Chao - Biography - AOL Music
		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 cuts a cross-cultural swathe across styles and geographic boundaries.
		Chao, whose real name is Oscar Tramor, was born on June 26, 1961 in Paris, to Spanish parents -- his father Ramon Chao a respected writer, comes from Galicia, his mother Bilbao.
		In 1995, Chao moved the band to Spain, where he also formed another outfit, Radio Bemba Sound System, employing both musicians from Mano Negra and outside, which, according to rumors, caused rifts within the ranks, leading to the split of Mano Negra.

	Manu Chao (1961 - )
		Manu Chao (born June 21, 1961 in Paris; real name Jose-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao; also occasionally credited as Oscar Tramor) is a French Latin folk singer.
		Chao's parents were Spanish - or to be more precise, his mother is Basque and his father, writer Ramón Chao, is Galician -, but moved to Paris to escape Francisco Franco's dictatorship (which lasted until the dictator's death in 1975).
		Manu Chao thus spent his childhood near Paris.

	Manu Chao - PopMatters Concert Review
		Born in Paris, the son of Spanish political refugees, Chao was raised bilingual and with an acute awareness of the world around him.
		Chao's live performances are famous for becoming jump-ups -- more energized and spiritually charged than his recorded output -- and tonight's performance was no exception.
		Chao had a boxer's moves, not to mention a boxer's heart -- which he fist-pounded repeatedly to show where he was feeling it.

	Ink 19 :: Manu Chao
		Manu Chao has been steadily building a worldwide fanatic following over the last fifteen years or so, but he's virtually unknown in the US, outside a stint as frontman for Mano Negra in the early '90s.
		While Chao, of somewhat Meditarrenean origins, can and does sing in English, songs in French, Spanish, Arabic and combinations thereof seem to have a hard time over here.
		Manu Chao manages to draw attention to human conditions without being too political about it, without attacking ideological entities or abstract concepts.

	Ink 19 :: Manu Chao
		Their sound was as motley as their lineage, but they poured a myriad of influences into a high pressure cooker, and the results were pretty explosive.
		Chao is rightly disillusioned with a lot of the world's inequalities, and he makes his observations pretty clear, if you can speak his languages.
		Manu Chao has shown himself to be a powerful songwriter and musician, able to deliver both in lyric and music.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Awards for World Music- Manu Chao;
		Think again: lead singer Manu Chao has reemerged and is a superstar across the Continent and Latin America.
		Chao admits this is part of the process.
		Chao sings in a mosaic of languages - Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, Wolof - and his voice and chunky acoustic guitar are as engaging as a circus busker.

	Metroactive Music \| Manu Chao
		Chao's 1998 album, Clandestino (Ark 21 Records), has been a slow-burning smash hit in both Europe and South America over the last two years, but despite its big overseas sales, its recent release in America has been practically ignored.
		Chao, whose father, Ramon, is in fact a famous antifascist expatriate writer on the French paper Le Monde, clearly envisions himself as a sort of Latino Woody Guthrie.
		Borders are an important concept to Chao: the record traverses many of them, and always from the outsider's point of view.

	Amazon.co.uk: Proxima Estacion Esperanza: Music: Manu Chao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Chao's guitaring mixes reggae choppiness with Hawaiian-slide purity, his natural knack for phonetic rhythms also highly impressive, particularly when he's jogging and skipping out his ska-inspired verses.
		Manu Chao is worth his weight in Inca gold for creating an album like this.
		When Manu toured the UK recently he was billed as 'an out of control office party in Cuba'.

	CNN.com - France's Manu Chao wows world with latest album - July 30, 2001
		Chao (whose real name is Oscar Tramor) was born in Paris to Spanish immigrants and first caught Europe's attention with the funky sounds of the group Mano Negra.
		Chao formed the group in the late '80s by approaching musicians who played for a living in the Paris subway -- also the site for Mano Negra's first rehearsals.
		After they broke up in 1994, Chao went solo and compiled 1998's "Clandestino," a collection of songs he recorded sporadically on a portable sound system while traveling around South America and Europe.

	Manu Chao's "Proxima Estacion: Esperanza" CD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Manu Chao is like a walking, talking and singing melting pot, and Proxima Estacion: Esperanza is an example of the nearly indescribable multilingual stew spilling out of his playful imagination.
		In addition to the party atmosphere created by his music, Chao outspokenly promotes marijuana use in songs like "Promiscuity," and comes off as someone for whom the personal is always political.
		Manu Chao makes music for an imaginary universe in which labels, genres and categorizations mean nothing at all and where stylistic possibilities are virtually endless.

	Manu Chao: Radio Bemba Sound System
		For his first live album release, Manu Chao's mellowness has for the most part been abandoned for an ardent blend of reggae and ska along with salsa and traditional Mexican sounds.
		From the plight of the immigrant on "Bienvenida a Tijuana", the debauchery of the border city on "Welcome to Tijuana", to the political poetry of Subcomandante Marcos set to a reggae beat on "EZLN", the country is a well of inspiration.
		From the looks of it Chao and his musicians has just as much fun as the audience does on stages across the globe.

	Manu Chao: Clandestino
		Manu Chao deserves all the accolades he's received for this album.
		Since Chao is the type of singer whose songs are best heard in a small club, the disc has an intimate feel about it.
		Along with Rage Against the Machine and Ani Difranco, Mano Chao shows that music can still be subversive and that ideals are not just trends to be sacrificed.

	Amazon.com: Clandestino: Music: Manu Chao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Chao has a nasal voice that is very entertaining and fits quite nicely with the acoustic guitar work.
		Fact is, Chao relies mostly on Latin rhythms with either European or Caribbean flavors, which means that there are times that this sounds like a collaboration between the Gypsy Kings and the Clash.
		On "Bongo Bong," Chao plays the role of a jungle dweller who heads into the city for fortune and fame, but ends up ignored by the masses.

	village voice > music > Manu Chao, Proxima Estacion: Esperanza by Enrique Lavin
		Chao calls Esperanza—named for a battle cry he tried out in Latin American concerts last year—Clandestino's little sister, because it is hopeful in contrast.
		Long before he'd ever set foot on South American soil, Manu Chao imagined what his grandfather's bigger-than-life exploits were as a Spanish immigrant in Cuba.
		Chao points to two groups that influenced his own way of making music: the British pub-rockabilly outfit Dr. Feelgood and Camarón De La Isla, considered the Bob Marley of flamenco music.

	Amazon.com: Radio Bemba Sound System: Music: Manu Chao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Anyone who's caught Manu Chao and his band Radio Bemba Sound System at one of their live gigs will testify that the Parisian troubadour sure knows how to throw a party.
		While the styles vary as often as the languages (Chao flits from Spanish to English to French as he translates his life as a global nomad into his music), the common thread is a sense of vitality and hope.
		From the uplifting reggae of "Bienvenida a Tijuana" to the African pop and salsa of "Casa Babylon," this album showcases Chao's role as the pied piper of multiculturalism, leading his crowd on a (literally) merry dance.

		This is actually the second Manu Chao album I've listened to (the other being Esperanza)and once again I find myself in awe of this guys genius.
