After spending ten years as the frontman of bands like the patchenka world fusion outfit Mano Negra and the Parisian pub-rock group Hot Pants, Manu Chao lost both his band and his long-term girlfriend. He then spent three years in suicidal exile trekking across South America and West Africa, before returning to music with “Clandestino” - his debut solo album recorded on a laptop with international guests from the collective known as Radio Bemba. It went on to spearhead the world music trend at the turn of the millennium, and sell five million copies. Not only that, but it’s #469 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail listened to it this week, and got into it on everything from Francisco Franco and Robbie Williams to Subcomandante Marcos and the University of Southern California. All that and more, plus an unfathomably spicy chapter of Secret Posho, on the thirty-second episode of Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
