Manu Chao review: Fizzing fiesta time
Posted on: October 4th, 2007“They opened their show like men who had been caged for weeks without access to their instruments: suddenly finding themselves liberated on stage in south London, where they’re playing three sold-out nights this week, they unleashed pulsing waves of distilled energy from the very first notes of their opening song, El Hoyo, bouncing and bristling, chords crashing, chorus soaring.
I wondered whether they might burn out, but for the next two hours there was almost no let-up as this wiry Franco-Spaniard and his band embarked on the very serious business of bringing joy to a fizzing and demographically diverse crowd.”
