Manu Chao was a well-known member of the Parisian alternative music scene, in bands such as Hot Pants and Los Carayos. In 1987, Chao, his brother Antoine Chao and their cousin Santiago Casariego founded the band Mano Negra. Mano Negra met with success in France first with the hit single
Mala Vida, then toured South America. The band split in 1995.He sings in French, Spanish, Arabic, Galician, Portuguese, English, Italian, and Wolof, often mixing them in the same song. He is one of the world’s largest selling artists, but is less known in the English-speaking world.
His music has many influences: rock, French chanson, Spanish-American salsa, reggae, ska and Algerian rai. These influences were obtained from immigrants in France, his Iberian relations, and foremost his travels in Mesoamerica as a wandering nomad following the disbanding of Mano Negra. Many of Chao’s lyrics are about political issues (e.g. immigration, global social justice, conflict, and strongly leftist critique of exploitative economic globalization) but also about love, lifestyles in different parts of the world, and music itself, which is hopeful for the future and at the same time dramatic. Chao is openly critical of the Bush administration in the US. He has many followers among the European left and the anti-globalization movement.
