Manu Chao: Radio Bemba Sound System

LP Record The man who gave us the irresistible 2000 summer hit Bongo Bong (and the soundtrack to Madonna's film The Next Big Thing was a real highlight) returns with the first live album of his solo career. In the meantime, Manu Chao and his ten-piece live band, Radio Bemba Sound System, have played around 100 concerts worldwide. From Marseille to Tokyo and Los Angeles to Moscow, this diverse line-up has brought venues to a boil with its multicultural musical ratatouille. In September 2001, Manu Chao, the former leader and frontman of the band Mano Negra, performed live in Paris and made himself heard. The programme for that evening at the Grande Halle de la Villette featured tracks from both of his solo albums.
