All three levels of Terminal 5 were packed with dancing, singing fans who came to hear Manu Chao's socially conscious reggae and rock. The French-born, Spanish artist sings in several different language including French, Spanish, English, and Portuguese and his passionate music appeals to people

Manu Chao concerts are rare in the English-speaking world but they tend to sell out.

Manu Chao is a folk and alternative-rock singer born in France but originating from Spain. He sings in a multitude of languages, including French, Spanish, Arabic, English and Wolof, often mixing them in the same song. "Rainin In Paradize," the first single released from his fourth studio album La

It's a well known fact that Manu Chao's "Clandestino" is one of the most beautiful songs on the face of the earth. The heart-wrenching melody and Chao-ish acoustics still leave you breathless, even a decade after its release, and you know it. That said, imagine if kuduro were thrown in the mix.

People often describe Chao’s catchy, socially conscious, reggae-influenced Latin alt-rock as punk, but that influence isn’t always readily apparent. There is a punk ethos to the way internationally famous French-born, Spanish singer-songwriter goes about being a musician, for sure. From his

It's the ultimate cover. The lyrics of Bob Marley's "One Love" preach the belief that we're all brothers, that we have only to love each other, to be together united by music. So what better way to cover that track than to show how a single song unites farway people? So the documentarians behind

Youtube comedian/”musician”/personality Peter Chao has the tendency to both crack me up and make me shake my head in disdain. One of his latest videos, entitled “Chinese Guy WHIPS His D!CK (Back and Forth)!,” made me do the latter and potentially turned me off from his comedy completely.

MTV Iggy fave, Carla Morrison, has a set of sweet, airy pipes that angels would covet, that sirens would sing for. And when she covers a track, she gives it sweetness and light. Last time we brought her on MTV Iggy to showcase a cover, the curvy twenty-something was singing a Manu Chao track ("La...

When amor is real, it hurts. It bleeds. It’s ugly. Chilean songwriter and poet Francisca Valenzuela evokes all emotions with “En Mi Memoria (In My Memory),” a gently crooned song from her second studio album, Buen Soldado. The pop rock diva’s soft voice and piano crescendos provide cushion for the

For 17 years, the Portugal quartet The Gift has been operating without a boss. Sans management or labels, they've grown famous in their home country and Spain by recording in their converted garage. Arguably, they've built a small empire around their high-drama, English-language anthemic indie rock

Raised in California’s Bay Area, cousins Dun Dun and Rico (now with DJ Leydis behind them) rhyme in Spanish and English and pour a liberal amount of Latin flavor over their sound, but it’s a world away from some corny reggaeton. This is hip hop, albeit with a ’90s-ish accent. The duo has...
