Anyone in a sober state of mind that realizes how fucked up our country really is yet instead of complaining about it from an armchair warrior perspective, tries to find a solution to the problem. I digress...

‘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 tour 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 with street theatre coup Royal Deluxe 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.
The double live CD with special DVD will be in stores in the USA on
