MANO NEGRA Best Of CD

opakowanie: jewel case + 16 str. książeczka

With many influences, the musicians of „La Mano“ create a
peculiar sound, a rock-salsa-raï-reggae-rap cocktail which they
baptize „Patchanka“. Manu Chao, who writes lyrics, gives to the
Patchanka a more personal definition: „a popular dance with
apache lyrics and chorizo spirit“. The band starts touring across
France in October 1987 and rapidly establishes a solid
reputation.
A few months later, when the second record “Puta’s Fever” is
released, the success is obvious. Tracks sung in French,
Spanish or Arabic, “Pas Assez De Toi”, “King Kong Five” or
“Sidi H’Bibi” are immediate hits.
After a long live-cruise in 1992 along the south American
coasts, la Mano Negra gets back to France and separates in
1994. It’s hard to tell the impact of La Mano Negra across
French and Spanish speaking countries, with as many particular
experiences that people lived during their tours.
