Manu Chao- "La Radiolina" - (Because Music/Radio Bemba)

CD- £13.99 / LP- £15.99

Manu Chao's first studio album in six years has to be one of the most eagerly awaited. There’s a smattering of very appealing slower, sparser tracks such as the Cuban/Catalan rumba swing of “Me Llaman Calle”, which is later recycled – oops, I mean ‘reprised’ – as “La Vida Tombola”. But more typical is the irresistibly racing energy of “Tristeza Maleza”, with its luminous sci-fi synth effects, driving snare, snappy brass motifs and ominous warnings to George Bush Jnr. It’s followed by the unsubtle agit-pop lyrics and reggae chug of “Politik Kills”. 

When he sings in Spanish, it’s much easier to overlook the formulaic nature of his lyrics, which often still rely on repetition of one catchy mantra-like phrase, with a different ending for each line. However, this album looking back to his punkier/rock roots is overall well worth it!
