Fun fact: even though Manu Chao sings predominantly in Spanish and plays Latin-style music, he was born and (afaik) lived most of his life in Paris.

Also, I'm not versed in Spanish/Latin-American music genres, so idk what this music is exactly. I'd guess that it's influenced by contemporary French music, too.

Yeah the "manu-chao multiverse" gets kinda complicated since he carried a lot of the work through all the different bands and his solo work as well. I also love listening to the OG Mano Negra stuff (soledad is a personal favourite, also ronde de nuit).

And yeah I'm French and the solo stuff was definitely overplayed there on the radio, TV etc.
