• At first listen, this is a record for a cosy atmosphere from the next room, but on the second listen it is a dark work. Built from minimal Latin and roots loops, an acoustic guitar and the voice of Manu Chao, who some may remember as the singer of the Franco-Hispanic agitpop band Mano Negra.

  Miguel Matamoros, Bob Marley and Subkomandante Marcos meet up on his hard disc for a bag of summer grass. But the mood changes as their heads are heavy in the face of the misery of their peoples. @Normal: Manu Chao is gallant, he sings about the expelled and exploited as a beautiful woman he wants to ask to dance. For those who don’t speak Spanish, here are the first lines from the title track: I walk alone with my pain / Alone goes my punishment / Running is my destiny / To deceive the law / Lost in the heart / Of the great city of Baby
