Clandestino / Bloody Border

Remastered. The first solo album released by the former frontman of Mano Negra, Clandestino is an enchanting trip through Latin-flavoured worldbeat rock, reliant on a potpourri of musical styles from traditional Latin and salsa to dub to rock and roll to French pop to experimental rock to techno. 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. This reissue features three new songs - Bloody Bloody Border, Roadies Rules and Clandestino featuring Calypso Rose (2019 version).
