If you haven't heard Manu Chao, check him out! He's got a great universal appeal, and his blend of Latin music, ska, African music and rock holds a cult-like appeal with millions of music fans around the world. Catch him if you can!

I will probably go to the Austin one, and I wonder why he’s not coming to Arizona, he has a pretty huge cult here. Man, he probably just doesn’t know. Why would he go to Texas anyways? haha

The Austin one is gonna be slammin’. Stubbs is such a great place. I bet it’ll sell out really early, though, you should get your tickets now!

I saw Manu last night in Portland, and he went to a little after party, where I was able to talk with him! It was amazing! We now have a picture taken together. He is very sweet, great smile, and very humble.

I saw him in Boston at Avalon shortly before the place closed down for good. He was just as good as 2001 in Athens, Greece!!
