Babylonia En Guagua

...Sure it took a week longer than I would have wanted, but it was so worth the wait. This DVD comes loaded with complete coverage of the Manu Chao concert from Paris where the Radio Bemba Live album was recorded, and includes songs like M. Boogie that were left out of the CD recording. Plus behind the scenes of Radio Bemba and Manu traveling the world on tour. Quality stuff.But the most interesting section of the DVD is called "Infinita Tristeza." It's a half hour of Manu's travels in guerilla states in Bolivia (Potosi), Ecuador (undisclosed), and Mexico (Chiapas). Here Manu and Radio Bemba play for free in front of either a handful of indigenous people in farm communities, or in front of a couple of dozen guerillas, many covering their faces and holding fire arms. Intriguing. Get this DVD now!

Hurray! After enjoying his music, I can finally see him perform. The two creative documentaries at the end are fascinating. They are real art work and the llama killing is family related. It is a tradition in Bolivia. I suggest researching it. It is amazing how Manu captures Bolivia, Ecuador and other towns. I also like to see how he performs with el pueblo. The creativity is amazing and I really enjoy his message. Hearing it is one thing, seeing it as art is another. Manu Chao is a unique artist. His music is for the world to hear and watch. It is family entertainment, beacuse no one should ignore his message. Suerte

This is the best live concert I've watched on DVD, the rhythms, sound, lights, etc...this concert was taped in Paris in front of a very involved audience, but who wouldn't, Manu Chao is amazingly entertaining, the adrenaline stays up all the time, every song is a world to discover, I assure you "disappointment" is not a word you'll have in your head while watching this DVD..
