Chao, Manu
Proxima Estacion: Esperanza (2lp + Cd)
Originally released in 2001. Gatefold double LP with a CD copy of the album. "The French-raised Spaniard distilled the
scattershot Europop-rock of Mano Negra into 1998's DIY, polyglot Clandestino, a word-of-mouth smash throughout Latin
Europe and then Latin America. Clandestino was warm, sprightly, melancholy, palpably humane. This is all that with magic
on top, reprising and varying a small store of infectious tunes into a motley suite segued and differentiated with sound
effects, funny voices, surprise guest instruments, and spoken-word samples. The pulse is Marley sans Africa-reggae,
whiter than the Bellamy Brothers, ska liter than polka. The mood is festive in the urbane, liberal, and internationalist
manner of Chao's new home, the pan-European haven Barcelona, a city that resisted Franco so vivaciously for so long that
it assumes entertainment coexists with dread. Just in time -- Euroworld! Never thought I'd hear it done right. A"
