 "La Mano Negra tears apart the dominant idea of music in the 1980s by throwing the remains into the bubbling pot of 'patchanka', where punk, ska, reggae, rock n’ roll, flamenco, funky, and singing in French, English, and Spanish converge."

 "Tracks like 'Ronde De Nuit,' 'Indios de Barcelona,' and 'Noche de Accion' overflow with musical freshness stemming from a crazy mix of ska trumpets, simple guitars, driving rhythms, and unforgettable vocal melodies."

Patchanka by Mano Negra stands as a milestone in music for its daring fusion of punk, ska, reggae, flamenco, and rock. Emerging from the 1980s Parisian underground, the album channels cultural diversity with catchy melodies and energetic rhythms. Tracks like "Ronde De Nuit" and "Mala Vida" showcase the band's range, blending aggression with melancholic flamenco tones. Inspired by The Clash yet uniquely innovative, Patchanka remains a vibrant and influential debut. Listen to Patchanka now and experience a revolutionary fusion of sounds that shaped alternative music history.
