heaviest lyrics ”Lucha, lucha, como lucha libre, por la libre, viva Puerto Rico libre! Hay mucho tiburón en el Caribe, 100 x 35 es el calibre!” ”Pa' una ciudad del norte, yo me fui a trabajar, mi vida la dejé entre Ceuta y Gibraltar, soy una raya en el mar, fantasma en la ciudad, mi vida va prohibida, dice la autoridad.”

the critics Stylus Magazine says: “Stripping down the cornerstones of reggaetón—percussion sounds and ubiquitous “Dem Bow” rhythm—the duo creates complex song structures all but foreign to mainstream pop.” Popmatters says: "Some people believe, and I'm one of them, that if anyone can carry on the weighty mantle of Bob Marley's legacy -- with all of its musical, spiritual, and political import -- it is Chao."

hijos de perra como se atreven a comparar a manu chao con la m***** esa llamada calle 13 ke no tienen ni creatividad ya ke hasta el nombre se piratean de una cadena de tv el tal residente y visitante son una mamada no se compara con el poder y creatividad del maestro manuchao no se compara ni la persona ni el estilo musical ya ke son dos cosas muy diferentes
residente = basura, falso e imita p******s
visitante = m*****, asco, gay y al igual ke el otro un pobre idiota ke ase lo ke le dicen lo ke tiene ke aser
MANU CHAO = BUENA MUSICA Y CON IDEOLOGIA PROPIA
MANU CHAO = PERSONA SENSILLA COMO UNO
MANU CHAO = MANU CHAO

Did you know Manu Chao has a new 4 song EP now available at digital stores like iTunes? I'm loving the new single "Rainin In Paradize".

I don't know why they're making people wait so long for the new album, La Radiolina. It's not coming out until Sept. 4 but I need my Manu fix now ...

HAY NO INVENTEN COMO CREEN QUE CALLE 13 SE PUEDE COMPARAR CON MANU CHAO,PRIMERO QUE NADA CALLE 13 APENAS SALIO Y CON UNA CANCION MUY TONTA PORCIERTO, QUE NO TIENE NINGUN FIN SOCIAL MAS QUE EL DE PONER A MOVER EL TRACERO SOBRE EL PENE DE LOS CABALLEROS,,NO ES QUE SEA MALO PERO NO SE PUEDE COMPARAR CON MANU, YA QUE PUES EL TRAE OTRO TIPO DE LETRA PARA GENTE UN POQUITO MAS DESPIERTA,,AHORA CALLE 13 SALIO CON LA ROLA DE PAL NORTE MI RESPETO PARA EL CORO YA QUE ORISHAS ES UN GRUPO MUY TALENTOSO PERO LA LETRA DE RECIDENTE DA ASCO COMO UNA ALDILLA? SIN PASAPOLTE? EN LO UNICO QUE SE PUDO AVER INSPIRADO ES EN EL NOTICIERO POR QUE EL NO SABE QUE ES SER UN VERDADERO CLANDESTINO. AHORA NO DIGO QUE LA MUSICA DE CALLE 13 SEA MALA ASTA CIERTO PUNTO TRAE A MUY BUENOS MUSICOS PERO EN UNO DE LOS EVENTOS DE CULTURA MUSICAL MAS RECONOSIDOS DE LATINOAMERICA FUERON ABUCHEADOS Y SACADOS A PATADAS AHORA SI ES QUE TE GUSTA CRISTINA, DON FRANCISCO,LA FAMILIA PELUCHE , ERES UN FAN DE LA MAMADA DE LA VELLESA LATINA , DEVES ENCUANDO TE ECHAS UN DANCE DE DURANGUENZE Y CREES QUE WISIN Y YANDEL EN SUS RATOS LIBRES SE DEDICAN AROBAR DIAMANTES...... PUES CLARO QUE CALLE 13 TE PARESERA MUY COOL
MANU CHAO ES LA NETA NO LO COMPARAEN CON ESTOS ESCLAVOS DEL IMPERIALISMO
