About Manu ChaoA Frenchmen with Spanish roots, Manu Chao is an immensely popular European artist who records in numerous languages (sometimes several in one song), which allows him to explore different vocal rhythms and develop a punk-influenced style all of his own. Popular single Me Gustas Tu for example, is in a mix of Spanish and French, and uses a simple lyrical format through both languages to produce a catchy piece of reggae. Manu's heartfelt left wing politics often infuse his songs, as do immigration politics and slightly anarchic tendencies. He also frequently reuses segments of his own songs to build new tracks. To date, Manu Chao's four studio albums have given him number ones on four countries, as well as making him an eclectic underground hero for numerous Europeans.
