This is my "going on holiday" music.
Men gusta la mañana

Me gusta la lasaña,
Me gustas tú Radio Paradise!

Love this tune, but I can't help thinking of Bubo the Owl when I hear it. IYKYK.
pls RP play more French and Spanish music
Merci !
Merci !
Really did not like this at all the first time I heard it ... but over the years, hearing it on RP, it's really grown on me. Now a solid 9. I think it's the announcer's "Radio Reloj!" at the end.
Tedious
I’m sitting on a train from Seville to Valencia, the day after Seville hosted the Latin Grammys, and I am appreciating this groove right now.
Should this not be on "Global mix"?
It gets an 8 for the Clanger solo.
Not that much of a fan of the Spanish music genre but I definitely dig the unconventional sound of this.
I doubled the rating based on the strategic use of the recorder.
Solid 2

reminds me of a year in France in the early 2000s, so many bars playing and loving Manu Chao. Soundtrack to the new friends and great travels that unfurled from there.
Sounds like someone has been watching The Clangers
this is peppy but in a trippy way
which ain't too bad

For the Brits listening to this, of a certain age, doesn't it sound like the Clangers are backing vocals?!

Biden is thankfully putting the US back in some semblance of respect from the rest of the world… those who voted for Dump and actually believe a word of his lies are beyond saving… I would like to be kind but I can’t - they are stupid fucking tools.

These are a few of my favorite things
Cinco de la mañana!
I have absolutely no reason to like this song. But it's catchy and I do 
No idea what he's singing, but my mood brightens up every time this comes on.

Needs more slide whistle......
Sounds like Breaking Bad music!
This just went up to an 8 from 7 cuz it made me feel so happy this morning.

No one really loves France. Not even the French.
Most Americans think of the French as a breed of New Yorker - snooty, condescending, & incomprehensible. And largely irrelevant.
Buenos tardes.
Going on the record. I love France and your impression of the place is truly uneducated.
This is some xenophobic BS. The snooty, condescending one here isn't from Spain, France, or NY. Maybe from that mythical h8ful place called 'Murica, though.

If you grew up in Latin America, that underlying radio narrative combining time-keeping, weather, advertising comments...and then all the musical layers on top...it just captures the whole identity from Río Grande to Tierra del Fuego. It's quite an achievement in my view.
Plus, my 15-year old heard this for the first time when he was in his mother's tummy and we were on holiday in Barcelona (where Manu Chau lives), he then became addicted to it and, being on the autistic spectrum, it became the routine song for the drive to school in Devon... each curve on that country road to Blackawton primary school was met with a "me gustas tú" and "5 de la mañana...remedio chino e infalible" was the cue to get out of the car!
I put the CD on the other day and he walked by me, he gave me a quick look and a fleeting smile. Me gustas tú.

Toronto? A level of sophistication the rest of the country can't appreciate?!!
And Arkansas is the cultural hub of America, right?!

My Spanish is a little rusty, but I do remember the phrase 'Con mucho gusto' means 'with much pleasure' in English. So does that mean this song title translates to 'I pleasure you'?

Huh aelfheld,
I just want to point out that you misspelled buenas tardes. And add a couple of more comments.
The French (quote unquote) as a breed of New Yorker, probably only applies to some folks from Paris. The rest of the country is not like that.
But then I don't have problems with folks from Paris either (though I would personally never go on a vacation to Paris). Guess it helps to be fluent in French.
But I understand. I know that some stoutly unilingual North American folks insist on language purity and wish languages to remain static.

It just goes on and on. Painfully.
I love this song! I say import more global music and export the miserable, scared people.
I've re-rated to an 8...Long Live RP!!
Just the best thank you RP
8 > 10. So funny

I think this is a fun little track, and I can nearly understand both the French and Spanish. It's a 7 for me. PEACE and LONG LIVE RP!!

I think you mean Manu Chao is not a Spanish chap - not "crap" which is something completely different although some commentators here think he is both!
Here is a summary and highly personal comment as to why Americans (and British) do not love France.... not least because there is still a lingering belief that France rolled over a little too easily to the Germans in the Second World War, The Allies had to save France but there was not much gratitude for the Allied sacrifices by the French authorities afterwards and they made out that in fact it was the the French Resistance that won their Country back.
Post WW2 General De Gaulle made himself unpopular with the British and Americans and then there was Vietnam - a mess that France started and the Americans tried to solve at great cost but in the end unsuccessfully
Finally, French in America is sometimes associated with New Orleans sleaze, Haitian Voodoo etc and the language itself is disliked by English speakers unless you are an Francophile.
However you are Spanish and your language is obviously increasingly spoken in the USA spreading from Latin America so you are safe from all my sweeping generalisations.

Can't stand this slimy girly stuff. Nice original sound, but I can't stand it. What a waste - I used to love Mano Negra.

This is just a whole lot of fun! You don't have to know a lot of the language to get the gist.

I wish I knew if I should rate this a 1 or a 9... It eats it's way into the brain, merrily buzzing around in there like a drunken blackfly.

Ha! That reminds me of dropping acid back in the day and then hearing that Popcorn song by Hot Butter on the radio. It was just too, too weird. Nearly didn't make it back. This would be the same, I'm afraid.
Maybe if I still took acid and was on it, I'd've hoped it would last for hours.
But without such inducements, it felt like it needed to be over after 30 seconds, though it felt like hours.

This is a great album, from which this excellent tune is one of the more mediocre selections. I do hope more tunes from MC are in the offing...

The Radio Reloj (Costa Rica) guy still sounds exactly like that.
This is a funny song, you either love it or hate it. Personally, I crank it up and sit and smile every time I hear it.

I'm on holidays right now, sitting in a cafe on Maui. This song is a perfect accompaniment to the swaying palm trees.
Luv it... it's my holiday music. I always play Manu on the way to Mozambique

I love Manu Chao. His music.

About 10 months ago, I saw Manu Chao live in Kazan, Russia—excellent show. I like him/them live better than in the studio.

If you grew up in Latin America, that underlying radio narrative combining time-keeping, weather, advertising comments...and then all the musical layers on top...it just captures the whole identity from Río Grande to Tierra del Fuego. It's quite an achievement in my view.
Plus, my 15-year old heard this for the first time when he was in his mother's tummy and we were on holiday in Barcelona (where Manu Chau lives), he then became addicted to it and, being on the autistic spectrum, it became the routine song for the drive to school in Devon... each curve on that country road to Blackawton primary school was met with a "me gustas tú" and "5 de la mañana...remedio chino e infalible" was the cue to get out of the car!
I put the CD on the other day and he walked by me, he gave me a quick look and a fleeting smile. Me gustas tú.
I was introduced to his music by my ex (French lady) our daughters live in Barça and through my cousin they have a 'nodding acquaintance' with Manu who lives dans le meme quatier.
