IMMIGRE (1993)
320 KBPS

Born in Senegal but working in France since 1982, Niominka Bi is kind of a well kept secret those who love reggae music share. He took the man quite some time to finally release his debut album on Boucherie Productions (a French alternative label known for bands such as Mano Negra, Les Garçons Bouchers, Pigalle, Los Carayos, Happy Drivers, etc.) in 1993. Before that, living in the city of Bordeaux, he heavily played in local clubs gaining a well deserved reputation in the reggae underground.
On Immigré, backed up by the N'Diaxas Band, he demonstrates how well africanity and reggae fit together. The production is not up to the music but decent enough so that it doesn't spoil the fun of listening to a damn fine reggae album.
Sadly, this albums is no longer available so don't miss your chance to catch up on Niominka Bi's debut album.

SERGENT GARCIA

SERGENT GARCIA
MASCARAS (2006)
320 KBPS

Fifth album for french artist Sergent Garcia, long, very long after his participation to French alternative punk band Ludwig Von 88 on guitar. He, nevertheless kept the dynamism of his previous formation in his latino-carribean excursions.
Sergent Garcia is all about dance, happiness and crazy rhythms and, on Mascaras, you'll travel through many countries: Spain, Jamaica, Brasil, Cuba and a few more. Weither it's salsa (Pintame), reggae (Guantanamo City), Sergent Garcia dares to mix anything sunny with a smile that makes the difference. Sure, many people would compare his work to that of Manu Chao and the comparison is valid as both artists have political views which are similar but Sergent Garcia has a voice of his own and his salsamuffin, as he defines it himself, actually appeared one year before Manu released his debut album.
Compared to his previous albums, Mascaras is the most refined he ever released and recalls what was, until now, his best opus, 2001's Sin Fronteras. So, to sum things up, if you want something to dance to that has a lot more depth than your usual salsa (or reggae) album, do try Mascaras, you will not be disappointed.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER (2009)

The Reggae master from Adonai in Dub returns to Tzadik with another fascinating program of Jewish music-Reggae style. Feast of the Passover is a collection of songs commonly sung during the Passover seder. Beautifully recorded in Boston, Ithaca, and Jamaica it features a fabulous band of David's longtime associates as well as the critically acclaimed Romanian saxophonist Yuri Yunakov and the legendary Leonard "Sparrow" Dillon (of the Ethiopians) and the Silvertones on vocals. Incredibly varied and spiritually inspired music connecting the Rasta and Jewish traditions through the miracle of music, this is the perfect background to anyone's 21st century seder.

FINLAY QUAYE
VANGUARD (2000)
320 KBPS

Finlay Quaye's second album appears destined to be condemned to the same fate as Terence Trent D'Arby's similarly success-cheating sophomore release, long cited as a cautionary tale for any artist considering giving the people something other than what they want. And what they seem to want from Finlay is his trademark burbly lite-reggae pop, the kind of music that, for me, made his debut "Maverick A Strike" rather too much of an insubstantial thing. What reggae still remains on "Vanguard" is predominately of a darker, dubbier hue, surrounded here by stream-of-consciousness freeform lyrical association ("Broadcast", for example, degenerates into a lecture about the different kinds of beans Finlay enjoys), straightahead guitar rock (the single "Spiritualized", for example, inspired by his burgeoning friendship with that band's Jason Spaceman) and tales from the dark side of his new-found celebrity ("Chad Valley" alludes, briefly, to his time spent in rehab). Of course, the mere fact that a record fails to conform to some expected template doesn’t necessarily make it great, but there are sufficient strands waiting to be untangled on "Vanguard" to suggest that it's a greater musical triumph than we could have dared expect, even if it's not a commercial one.

RISE (1993)
320 KBPS

Rise is the fifth full-length studio album by hardcore punk pioneers Bad Brains. It is the first Bad Brains album to be released on a major label (Epic Records) and is notable for the absence of two original members: Here, a young Israel Joseph I replaces vocalist H.R. and Cro-Mags drummer Mackie Jayson, who was a session musician on the band's previous album Quickness, replaces drummer Earl Hudson.
The album was released in the wake of a number of funk/rock acts whose sounds recalled the latter work of Bad Brains. Unfortunately for Bad Brains and several of these pioneering rap/funk/metal bands of the early 1990s, the Seattle grunge movement of 1992 had taken over the music industry, leaving Bad Brains without a record contract by the beginning of 1994.

DREAMS OF FREEDOM:
AMBIENT TRANSLATIONS OF BOB MARLEY IN DUB (1997)
320 KBPS

To coincide with the electronica revolution of the late '90s, Bill Laswell remixed a number of Bob Marley records as ambient dub for the Dreams of Freedom: Ambient Translations of Bob Marley in Dub album. If these songs were remixed by any other producer, the results could have been disastrous, but Laswell is one of the masters of intellectual dub — he knows what to take out and what to add, creating a spacious, cavernous mix that is provocative without being extreme. Some longtime Marley fans will balk at the very idea of the album, but the results are undeniably impressive, even if it's a little too restrained and cerebral.

DUB BOX SET (1998)
320 KBPS

The first of two valuable dub collections on Trojan — part of the label's bargain, three-disc box set series — this 50-track mix of trance-inducing sound effects and brutal rhythms chronicles the music during its '70s heyday. Selecting from a store of original sides by the likes of Gregory Isaacs and former Skatalite and tenor great Tommy McCook, dub originator King Tubby and protégés Scientist and Prince Jammy deliver plenty of solid version remixes, while early knob-twisters Lee Perry and "Niney" the Observer weigh in with some quality reworkings of their own. Crack-session bands the Upsetters, the Aggrovators, the Revolutionaries, and the Roots Radics all come off sounding like the real bedrock of reggae, as space-probe interjections bounce off heavy, heavy bass and drums. A quality dub primer perfect for reggae newcomers.

DUB BOX SET VOLUME 2 (2000)
320 KBPS

From the seemingly bottomless vaults of Trojan Records comes this very fine collection of dub from the '70s: reggae's classical period and the high point of dub as a producer's art form. One in a series of limited-edition box sets, this set features 50 tracks on three discs at three-for-two pricing with attractive, no-frills packaging. The bands featured include such eminencies as the Upsetters, Soul Syndicate, the Aggrovators, and the Revolutionaries, all of them at various times the house bands for the best studios in Jamaica. The producers responsible for the dub mixes presented here are primarily the grand masters of the genre: King Tubby, Scientist, Prince Jammy, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Highlight tracks include the seriously twisted "Casanova Dub" (by the Observer All Stars), "Strictly Dub" (one of many versions of Rupie Edwards' hugely popular "Everyday Wandering" rhythm), and King Tubby's bracingly minimalist "Dancing Version." If you only feel you need one dub collection, this one should be it.

REGGAE SISTERS BOX SET (2003)
320 KBPS

'Reggae Sisters' is the best out of the 3 CD box sets I've got so far and here are just three very different reasons why:
1) Phyllis Dillon singing Marlena Shaw's "Woman of The Ghetto". This is rough, tough, skankin' reggae which makes this legendary female reggae singer sound like a rude boy, a la Peter Tosh. The drums are almost militaristic at the beginning and the guitar skank is like a bamboo across a dilliquent's backside. Mention is necesary for the backing vocals - soulful, wailing, melancholic and they balance the track's general toughness. Huge tune and funk/jazz/soul fans will love to surprise their friends and audiences with this rare cover of a monumental soul track.
2) Nora Dean's "Peace Begins Within". Closer to the Wailers' musical and philosophical style, this track bounces along with a spiritual robustness behind Dean's wailing, plaintive vocal "Oh me, Oh my, Cost of living got so high...but peace begins within". But it's a great message to combat the gangsterism, poverty and resulting rioting which was hitting Jamaica during the troubled Michael Mann era.
3) The Gaylettes doing "Son of A Preacher Man". Hot mama! This is Dusty Springfield's tune with rude fat bass and jumping chugging rocksteady guitar action. This exemplifies how reggae artists embraced the soul tracks being made in the States and not only made them entirely their own but injected them with a crucial vitality and robustness.
Those words 'tough' and 'robust' keep creeping up here but this isn't the entire story. A great deal of this collection is very 'poppy'. There are many, many, sometimes cheesey, love songs on here - 'Moonlight Lover' and 'Silly Wasn't I' for starters. And in these we realise what may almost be termed 'the plight' of female vocalists in this notoriously macho culture. They were so often only allowed to record songs about lovin' their man or missing their man by these often quite mysoginistic producers. Now this may seem like a negative but this whole collection is testimony to how these women still knocked out dazzling, effortlessly precise music despite these restrictions. And even if these may seem like cheesey, poppy little tunes to reggae new comers the hardened reggae fan will realise that these are super rare, vintage tracks with such great musicianship that the cheesey lyrics (often someone else's anyway) are completely secondary in the listening experience. "Perfidia" or "Emergency Call" are both among the better examples of this.
As was hinted at above, this is a great collection because of all the covers. In fact this was the reason I bought it. You can hear the following famous tracks covered and they would merit similar descriptions and praise as those above: "Fever" (heavy dub bass line), "Rescue Me" (plenty of brass, distant and haunting recording of Judy Mowatt's vocals), "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles being worked by Marcia Griffths, the super chilled version of "Groovin'" again by The Gaylettes and many more.
This is a fantastic collection folks, for reggae fans and those new to it, taking in so many different styles of reggae through the ages.

ROCKSTEADY BOX SET (1999)
320 KBPS

This 50-song, three-CD set is about as good as it gets as a compilation. The box delights, teases, and fascinates from its opening number, "Rock Steady" by Alton Ellis — practically the first record ever to use that term. Ellis and well-known acts like Desmond Dekker, the Maytals, the Paragons, Justin Hinds & the Dominoes, and the Melodians share space with lesser-known acts such as the Versatiles, the Federals, Derrick Harriott, and the Uniques. The majority of the acts emphasize vocals, and a great degree of soulful lyricism, whereas the Maytals display a sound and a quality of musicianship closer in content and spirit to the best folk-rock acts of the period. Not all of it is exactly groundbreaking; the pedestrian "You You" by the Natives becomes generic background music very quickly. The expected names, such as the Gaylads ("It's Hard to Confess") and Lyn Taitt & the Jets (a rare instrumental version of "To Sir With Love"), do tend to dominate the proceedings. Derrick Morgan's big rocksteady hit "Greedy Gal" isn't here, but in its place is "Conquering Ruler," another worthy showcase of his talents as a singer and songwriter. Also present is the Michael Jackson of the rocksteady boom, Errol Dunkley ("You're Gonna Need Me"), who cut a string of hits in his mid-teens. Juxtaposed with heavier numbers like "Dreader Than Dread" by Honey Boy Martin, this mix of songs is a good cross-section of this short-lived but dazzlingly creative period in Jamaican (and British) music. The sound quality is generally excellent, although a few of the tracks sound like they're not from first-generation sources. The only glaring flaw is the virtual absence of serious liner notes.

RUDE BOY BOXSET (2002)
320 KBPS

Jamaica's independence in 1964 started in motion a complex series of interrelated cultural changes, one of which, the migration of thousands of Jamaicans from the country to the city of Kingston, led to massive joblessness in the city. Nothing is more desperate than an angry young man with no job, no money, no future (and thus no attainable dreams), and tons of time on his hands, and by the long, turbulent summer of 1966, the rude boy (as such young men were named) phenomenon was at high tide. Drawing iconic style and identity from spaghetti Westerns and James Bond films, the rude boys were on an unavoidable collision course with the Kingston police, and a remarkable series of records documenting the exchange began appearing in 1966 just as ska was beginning to morph into early rocksteady. This delightful three-disc, 50-track box set collects a number of these rude boy anthems, including enduring classics like the Heptones' "Gunman Coming to Town" (with its odd William Tell intro), Desmond Dekker's "007 (Shanty Town)," Alton Ellis' "Cry Tough," the Slickers' "Johnny Too Bad," and Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Set Them Free." A good deal of the rebel righteousness and outsiders' view that came to be identified with reggae in Jamaica really starts with these tough little tunes, which represented a very public forum on the relative merits — pro and con — of the rude boy stance. A well-chosen set, full of wall-to-wall classics.

SKINHEAD REGGAE BOXSET (2002)
320 KBPS

I will not give you a history lesson here (read "Spirit of 69" by George Marshall for that), only the truth about the Trojan Skinhead Reggae box set... it's totally boss. These are all songs presumed to be popular with skins and the like in and around the late sixties & early seventies. Most have a slower, more rocksteady-style tempo, which was akin to the lifestyle and musical appreciations of those folks. The basslines are fat, the organ is heavy, and the lyrics are catchy-as-hell.
A few hits mixed in with some rarities keeps Trojan at the top of the heap when it comes to old-school monster sounds. The Skinhead set is one of about 70 (or so it seems) put out by Trojan, and each one seems to be right on par with the next. I haven't heard all of the sets (yet), but of the 6 or so I have, it's hard to pick a favourite. This set in particular is great from start to finish, even the so-called "filler" material is better than 99% of any "music" being put out today. If you think you love reggae, get this. If you're not really sure about reggae, get this anyway.

ERNEST RANGLIN

ERNEST RANGLIN
BELOW THE BASSLINE (1996)
256 KBPS

You may not know it, but you have heard Ernest Ranglin a thousand times before, playing on Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" and a dozen classic Prince Buster tracks, cranking the guitar line on ska and roots-rocker tunes for decades. He was there at "the beginning," at the Jamaican pop music revolution of the 50s and 60s, and he's back now. Below The Bassline is a risky endeavor, taking classic tunes like "Congo Man" and "Black Disciples" and reinventing them for the nineties, not as pop-crossover but as true spirited visitations to the great music of the past. Fortunately, he has not only his own formidable skill as a musician, but the equal brilliance of pianist/arranger Monty Alexander and a band that includes Idris Muhammed and Ira Coleman in the rhythm section, and Roland Alphonso on the horns. What they have come up with is a heavy, solid mass that harkens back to Wes Montgomery and then shouts forward to hip-hop and dancehall, with amble homage to reggae and ska, and above all, a searing contemporary jazz that never becomes cheap pop. It's brand new music from classic roots, and above all, it just grooves on and on.

BAD BRAINS

BAD BRAINS
I AGAINST I (1986)
320 KBPS

I Against I was for Bad Brains what London Calling was for the Clash — the band's first fully mature work, one which successfully brought together all of its diverse influences while at the same time showcasing a singular vision. Also like London Calling, it was to be the band's masterpiece, in the original sense of that term — a creative pinnacle which they would not reach again. The album opens with the title track, a blistering and musically exhilarating deploration of violence, and then moves directly into "House of Suffering," easily the most complex and yet viscerally compelling song the band ever produced. Singer H.R. digs deep into his bag of voices and pulls them all out, one by one: the frightening nasal falsetto that was his signature in the band's hardcore days, an almost bel canto baritone, and a declamatory speed-rap chatter that spews lyrics with the mechanical precision of a machine gun. He positively croons on the surprisingly melodic "Secret 77" and "Let Me Help." But his voice isn't even the best thing happening here. It's the incredibly tight, funky, and tonally rich interplay between guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer, and drummer Earl Hudson that gives this album its deeply satisfying texture. The stop/start rhythms of "Secret 77" and "Sacred Love," the gorgeous guitar hook on "She's Calling You," Dr. Know's completely counterintuitive ability to meld the raw directness of hardcore punk with an almost supernatural virtuosity without sacrificing the power of either approach — this is music-making of an order not usually seen in rock & roll.

SKYLARKING (1996)
320 KBPS

Perhaps the best introduction to Horace Andy you can find, Skylarking (not to be confused with his Studio One album of the same name) collects songs spanning 3 decades, from some of his earliest works -- like 1970's "Fever" and the classic, horn-driven "Every Tongue Shall Tell" -- to this later hits with British group Massive Attack, including the sublime funk/dub "One Love" and the heinous remix of "Spying Glass." The latter song is the only truly bad selection put on this "best of" compilation, as Massive Attack's heavy-handed beat dominates and detracts from Andy's delicate, vulnerable vocals. The ethereal music of the original (also included here), on the other hand, matches the vocals perfectly. Although many of Andy's songs contain cultural messages, his music isn't heavy or difficult to listen to because of his light voice and proficiency at crafting simple, catchy melodies. Listening to him, you'd think that he'd be most at home singing love songs, but while he does do some of that here, he also drops some consciousness. My two favorite tracks here -- the cool lovers romp "Natty Dread a Weh She Want" and the aforementioned "Every Tongue Shall Tell" -- illustrate his range. Ten of the 14 tracks on Skylarking were released in the '70s, including the greats "Skylarking" (of course), "Rock to Sleep," and "Do You Love My Music." While it would be hard to collect all of Horace Andy's greatness on one album, I can't help but miss "You Are My Angel," "See a Man's Face," "Mr. Bassie," and a couple from In the Light. Still, this is a great collection, with intriguing liner notes that include Andy's thoughts on each song.

LIVING IN THE FLOOD (2000)
320 KBPS

Horace Andy is one of the true living legends of reggae, a great falsetto singer whose earliest work established a roots reggae foundation upon which numerous other singers would later build, and who has managed to continue to make vital and influential music throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, largely thanks to his collaborations with the British trip-hop band Massive Attack. It's Massive Attack's Melankolic label that has given Andy a place to hang his hat, first with the career overview Skylarking, and now with an outstanding album of all-new material. The sound here is strictly roots, with real drums and horns (inexplicably, there are no musician credits), old-fashioned reggae grooves and cultural lyrics. Andy is singing as beautifully as ever (on every track except "True Love," which finds him painfully off pitch), and on such highlight tracks as "Juggling" and the epochal "Living in the Flood," you'd swear he was still in his 20s.

IT MUST BE A DREAM (1997)
320 KBPS

The phrase "couldn't leave well enough alone" comes to mind when listening to this remix album of material from Miracle. A large part of what made the original album so great was its airy acoustic Indian touch, and inexplicably, someone comes up with the bright idea of dumping that sound in favor of a more modern, Western one, with heavy bass, digital effects, and sampled dance beats. While this actually works on a few tracks, the "Europeanization" of the songs ruins most. The best of these new versions are the ones that utilize subtle beats and effects -- quiet, unobtrusive changes that blend well with the placid nature of the original tunes. "My Woman," "Just Can't Stand It," and "Over the Rainbow," for instance, each add just a subtle bass line, drum, or echo. However, several of the remaining songs are dominated by dance/techno/drum & bass/trip-hop beats that overpower the vocals and drain any impact of the originals. The "Solid As a Rock" remix actually made the UK charts, but it is one of the worst cuts on It Must Be a Dream, and I doubt that the people that made that version popular were reggae fans.

HR

HR
CHARGE (1990)
320 KBPS

Considering the way that HR with the Bad Brains could go from scorching thrash to deep, DEEP dub reggae, I thought that his solo stuff would be nothing but phenomenal--not that I was expecting him to Brains stuff without Brains (which I despise in solo efforts), but I figured him for being able to do something deep and spiritual and creative.
But I wasn't that crazy about the first ventures. Human Rights and such projects seemed rather stilted and inconsistent. But this particular disc made it pretty clear that the previous efforts were just the equivalents to sticking his toes into the galactic river, because _Charge_ has a lot of great stuff on it, all directed forward in what feels like a very unified vision.
It is unfortunate, as another reviewer has pointed out, that HR's solo work may go underappreciated because it doesn't fit easily into either realm of the dichotomy of what some may think are Bad Brains fans (too slow for punkers, too fast for rastamen), but HR and Know and Daryl and Earl made it very clear from the start of the Brains era that they wanted to redefine musical borders. Moreso, they wanted to forget about borders altogether and look more at the meaning of the music than its category--how else would you be able to call the Brains a gospel group?
For HR, clearly the music is about its meaning rather than its label. Maybe a little more easily categorizable as reggae than some other efforts, _Charge_ is full of the strongest stuff of reggae--anger, outrage, a cry for justice, all over a danceable rhythm. From "Rasta" to "Just Because I'm Poor" to "Selassie Fee," HR makes spirituality and the right fight just another natural part of the universe. The reggae is a little harder than what you have on "I Love I Jah", and thrash this isn't, but HR has something to teach ALL of you about Jah and about music, so listen.

NIGHTFALL SHOWCASE (1997)
320 KBPS

Nightfall was originally issued in Jamaica in 1981. It was a solid winner for two reasons: the excellent production of Lynval Thompson, and the absolutely watertight reggae grooves provided by Roots Radics, then the leading studio band in Jamaica. Osbourne's lyrics and singing were good, but neither was quite up to the standard he had set a few years previously on the epochal Truth And Rights album. This CD reissue presents the original Nightfall in "showcase" style, meaning that several tracks are followed by dub versions and one is presented in an extended "discomix." The label has sweetened the package by adding five bonus tracks, one of them a fine DJ version of Osbourne's "Turn Me On" -- on it, producer Thompson comes to the mic to show off his toasting skills and turns the track into an herb anthem titled "Marijuana Tree." This is a fine and well-packaged document of early dancehall reggae.

With this second album, the ten musicians of Sinsemilia confirmed their position as the finest reggae band of the French scene. Still angry but not without humour, Sinsemilia excels in the role of the voice which doesn't want to be silenced. But do not let the political content put you off, Sinsemilia are, above all, a great reggae band that doesn't even fear to cover timeless classics as La Mauvaise Reputation from George Brassens' repertoire here shows.
Their reggae is both energetic and danceble and Résistances is, to this day, their finest release. So, if you're looking for reggae but are tired of the same old Jamaican sounds, let Sinsemilia into your house, you will not regret it.

RUTS
THE CRACK (1979)
256 KBPS

The Ruts sound was a heavy brooding collision of blistering punk and heavy dub. With strong political convictions and explosive melodies the Ruts were the best of the 2nd wave of punk bands to emerge in 1978-79. The violent street campaigns of the National Front and its recruitment of young people inflamed the Ruts political stance and led to a strong association with the Rock Against Racism campaign.
Unlike the overproduced studio albums they're edgy, abrasive sound is captured perfectly on these recordings. The social ills of decaying 1970s Britain are attacked in the 15 tracks here. Standout songs are the swirling paranoid 'S.U.S',pounding Dope For Guns/Babylons Burning, incendiary 'It Was Cold' and the oppressive Secret Soldiers which are all superior to the official versions. In fact every song on here sounds as fresh and vital as it did back then. The Ruts were among the very few punk bands who got the rare mix of fury,intelligence and great melodies. A unique band with a unique sound. Sadly singer Malcolm Owen died from a heroin overdose when the Ruts were at their creative peak but for punk music - which is not afraid to do the unexpected and still sound great - this album is essential.

MANU CHAO

Manu Chao helped begin the Latin Alternative movement, way back in the '80s — although it had no name then — and in his later work he cuts a cross-cultural swathe across styles and geographic boundaries.

CLANDESTINO (1998)
256 KBPS

The first solo album released by the former frontman of Mano Negra, Clandestino is an enchanting trip through Latin-flavored worldbeat rock, reliant on a potpourri of musical styles from traditional Latin and salsa to dub to rock & roll to French pop to experimental rock to techno. Chao's voice tends to be a bit nasally, but the best songs ("Mentira," "Mama Call," and the silly novelty "Bongo Bong") here benefit from his infectious, freewheeling delivery which incorporates balladry, chorus vocals, rapping, and tossed-off spoken-word passages. Just about every track has odd sampled bits from what sound like pirate radio-station broadcasts (a possible link to the title). There are so many great ideas on this record that it's difficult to digest in one listen, but multiple plays reveal the great depth of Manu Chao's artistry.

PROXIMA ESTACION... ESPERANZA (2001)
256 KBPS

Clandestino, Manu Chao's first solo effort, owed its greatness to its character. It was a minimalistic, yet filled with experimentation, album. But, what's most distinctive, it was honest, direct, intimate: the personal diary of someone who had traveled a lot, not only around Latin America but through life. Unfortunately, Chao seems to lose his way a little bit in Esperanza. Apparently intended to be a continuation of what started in Clandestino, it ends being just a clone of it. The reiteration of ideas and formulas takes away from Esperanza everything that made of Clandestino a memorable piece of work. The problem with Esperanza is that Chao, instead of deepening what he proposed in his first album, seems to overfly the surface of his ideas. The consequence of this is that he transforms charm into cliché, leaving the listener with a very light flavor. Anyway, Esperanza still has a bunch of great songs ("Mr Bobby," "Mi Vida," "Trapped By Love," "Me Gustas Tú," "Bixo") and good lyrics ("Mi Vida") which amply justify its listening. Dedicated fans will find that Esperanza is not what they were expecting, yet it's really easy-going and accessible so it will end working for them as well as for casual listeners.

From Jamaican reggae to Latin alternative pop/rock, including rock en español, hip-hop, flamenco, and French rock, The Live Album delivers a collection of hits from 1998's Clandestino, 2001's Ultima Estacion Esperanza, and Mano Negra's legacy, the Parisian rock outfit named in honor of an Andalusian anarchist group that served as Manu Chao's breakthrough in the music industry. In addition, the 29-track record features the previously unreleased "Bienvenido a Tijuana," "Rumba de Barcelona," and a version of the classic Afro-Caribbean-inflected hit "Blood and Fire." Recorded at Paris' Grande Halle de La Villette in September 2001, The Live Album is a multilingual and experimental live experience featuring the best of Manu Chao.
