Estacion Mexico... Clandestino


After years en el olvido, Manu Chao is back to playing live! This live LP taped at el Foro Cultural Alicia in Mexico, coincides with the closing of his 2006 worldwide tour and includes acoustic versions of some old time favorites and some of his latest repertoire from his his 2007 release, La Radiolina.

In true Manu style, this live acoustic LP includes a mellowed down mix of his festival-rousing rock, defiant politics, and multilingual lyrics and resembles the energy of his 2002 Live album, Radio Bemba Sound System minus the horns section and energizing live and electric guitars. Truly this record is to be enjoyed with a bottle of wine next to you. The dub versions of many of his songs continue his indie tradition with an even more bohemian feel to them.

La vida tombola (track 13) and El Hoyo (track 14) included in La Radiolina are perfect additions to the acoustic set and add an amazing anejo feel to a very dubby and festive performance.

Without further introduction here is
Estacion Mexico. Please enjoy!

PS: thanks for the clandestino reader that shared this new album!
