Details: Product Description First Album from France's Biggest Alternative Rock Band in the Late 80's / Early 90's. their Energetic Fusion of Trash Rock and Latin Music Will Blow Your Mind. Amazon.ca If Manu Chao's career had not been punctuated by decisive works, we would be tempted to attribute founding virtues to this album. Patchanka, the first record of La Mano Negra, an organization of stage noise and fury led by Mano Chao was however indeed the birth certificate of a music, a lifestyle, a so-called alternating current. After the advent of this album and the apocalyptic concerts that followed, no, nothing was the same. A veritable manifesto of a new fashion, we can detect the ferments of the inspiration of the man who is still Manuel in this year 1988. But his way - for example - of treating the classic rockabilly "Rock Island Line" as an encounter between the group Free and Public Enemy speaks volumes about its intentions. There are also these Latin-punk vibes, like "Noche De Acción", or "Indios de Barcelona" (the city later became his headquarters) and these torrid compositions in Spanish, such as "Mala Vida", one of the most beautiful titles of Manu and Mano. The Patchanka, according to the Mano, was the form of wild party that the group invented at each new concert. This album shows how the embers are still red. --Jose Ruiz
