MANU CHAO-VIVA TU (BLUE VINYL)

The legendary Manu Chao is back with his first album in seventeen years. Viva Tu is a joyful, eclectic affair, with the artist singing in Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English over lush, lovely globally-inspired melodies. The songs are inspired by Chao's experiences traveling and by the everyday lives of ordinary people. Willie Nelson and French singer Laeti both contribute memorable turns on "Heaven's Bad Day" and "Tu Te Vas" respectively. An upbeat, dynamic, life-affirming listen from one of the best.
