  • US release of Manu Chao's new live album + DVD on november 17th

    Nacional Records is proud to announce that Manu Chao will release ‘Baionarena’, a Double Live Album and DVD Set, recorded last year at the prestigious roman amphitheatre In Bayonne, France.

    The DVD features the concert in its entirety as well as bonus material, including all the music videos from ’La Radiolina’ and a 30-minute behind-the-scenes video tour diary entitled “Carnet de Voyage.” The diary follows Manu Chao and Radio Bemba along their adventures across the globe, from Austin City Limits to Glastonbury and Mexico to Russia.

    Song highlights among the 33 tracks include classics like “Clandestino”, “La Vida Tombola”, “Mala Vida”, “Desaparecido” and “Bienvenida A Tijuana”

    DVD preview : watch Clandestino and Mr.Bobby on Facebook.


    The new live album is the follow-up to the Latin Grammy-winning studio album ‘La Radiolina,’ which has been certified Latin Gold and hit number one on the Billboard Latin album chart.

    The album is available for pre-order now on Amazon.com

    ‘Baionarena’ takes the spirit and success of ‘La Radiolina’ to an entirely new dimension as explosive energy is shared between the band and thousands of fans. ‘La Radiolina’ has now sold more than a million copies worldwide, taking Manu Chao on a two-year world tour.

    In that time, Manu has performed in front of several million people, including an extensive sold-out U.S. tour and more than 100 festival headline dates from Russia to Coachella and Bonnaroo.

    Manu Chao has been on the road for over 20 years, from one country to the other, from town to town, stage to stage. Today with Radio Bemba, yesterday with Mano Negra. The memories are endless – from The Pigalle Tour with shows that often ended on the Boulevard de Clichy in Paris to the Cargo ’92 Tour, in which the band climbed aboard a ship to tour Latin American port cities. There was Venezuela during a military coup, Cuba and their political police, Rio de Janiero with Jello Biafra. The epic touring adventures go on and on.

    In other recent news, Manu Chao has released a “La Colifata” benefit project, now available for a “pay what you want” donation at www.vivalacolifata.org. La Colifata is a unique Buenos Aires-based radio station, broadcast from a psychiatric hospital. Manu has been working with La Colifata for five years and recently produced an album recorded by the station’s members. La Colifata was created in 1991 as a unique establishment that uses media (radio/TV) as therapeutic treatment, somewhere between clinical and social treatment. It is a resource between the clinical and external worlds that allows Los Colifatos to recreate the social link with people living outside the hospital.
