About this album

“Próxima Estación: Esperanza” (English: Next Stop: Hope) was released in Europe in 2000and in the United States in 2001 on Virgin Records. Chao and others sing in Arabic, English, French, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish on this album.

The name comes from a sample of an announcement for the Esperanza station of Madrid Metro’s Line 4, because in Spanish Esperanza means “hope”. The voice actor Javier Dotú and a Metro announcer later sued for infringement of intellectual copyright over the use of their voices.
