Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mano negra!
A live show that will spin your head or even upset you for not having seen them live even once. Forte Prenestino hosted them in 1985 and it was a frenzy with dismantled barriers, bone-breaking pogo, and above all, them. The legendary historic Mano Negra.
Recorded in Japan, a group of about 20 members engaged the audience with a mix of sounds from almost every type of instrument: trumpets, saxophones, percussion, pianos, flutes, organs... This mix sounded like an experimental ska-core. The characteristics were sudden rhythm changes, trumpets playing, and always the hip-hop of Manu Chao on vocals.
This live performance is the essence of their immense desire to make ordered chaos, regular noise, rhythmic beats ranging from slow to fast, in one song you could hear practically many different musical genres, I’m not only talking about world music but also about punk, hip-hop, ska, reggae, and a fierce ability to be a true orchestra. If you didn’t experience them when they came out, get this live album to understand how it is possible to make such beautiful and engaging music. Even for those who love popular music, delve into Mano Negra, you will like them; they were basically a French group because Manu Chao is French, lives in Barcelona, and speaks 5 languages.
Mano Negra, a unique live experience for variety in the history of music.

05 Lonesome Bop (02:33)
She was slidin' on the edge
She was ready to fall down
Carryin on her sledge
Enough booze put ten truckers down
& she went down on a smutty dance
& the uptown crowd said
It's an offence
To any human dance
When the music stop
She kept on doin the Rock
Boss said: "It's time to go"
She started dancin' like AC
She was crawlin' on the floor
When the joint closed doors
They left her lyin in the street
Cause her heart didn't beat anymore
Dancin' on the lonesome bop
She got a broken heart
Once dancin' on the lonesome bop
Bop bop bop
07 Rock Island Line (02:38)
The Rock island line is a nighty good Road
The Rock island line is a Road to Ride
The Rock island line is a nighty good Road
But if you want to Ride
Gotta Ride it like you find it
Get a ticket of the Station
Of the Rock island line
I may be Right
Or I may be wrong
This mulla gonna miss me
When I'm gone
The man at the tall gate is fodin' you
Don't give money to the Tall gate man
08 King Kong Five (03:55)

10 Bring the Fire (03:29)
You got no brains
You got no soul
Behind your eyes
There's a big wall
Your mind is cold
Your Heart is bold
Behind your eyes
There's a big wall
Now what am I gonna do?
BRING THE FIRE
& I'm climbing
On the wall
Just to get
In touch
With you
Cause there's nothin'
That I wouldn't do
To get in touch with you
It's been a long long night
Till she stole the light
I got a big desire
I want the world set on fire
Last time I saw the light
Was just a little lovelight shine
& it was burnin' down in your eyes
So unsteady it drives me blind
11 Indios de Barcelona (02:23)
Welcome anywhere you come from
You'll lose your life or find a home here
Cause some do it right some do it wrong
Some are talkin' wise some they're running their tongues
Lot of soul in my block
From St Pau to the dock
Are you ready to be hurt & shocked?
Barrio chino never fails to rock
LOS INDIOS DE BARCELONA
SON MAS INDIOS QUE LOS DE ARIZONA!
Drink wine, smoke pot, got through Jaco
Busca la fortuna, vende tabaco
Try your dirty tricks with no shame
You'll pay for them with blood & pain!
Hey gringo!
If you want some kicks tonight
Come on! See you down the bar at 9
(you too gabacho)
La PATCHANKA'S THE WILD SOUND
FOR PROUD SOULS & LONELY HOUNDS
Cherokees they are movin' on
Up to calle St Pau, mescaleros powhow
There's gonna be war in the streets
Gringo better take a TRIP TRIP TRIP
12 El sur (01:23)
Si yo algún día te pierdo
Contra el destino yo lucharé
Que no lo aguanta mi cuerpo
Lo frio de un mundo sin volverte a ver
Y como un pájaro muerto
Volando me iré para el infierno
Donde viven desconsolados
Los que de tí se han alejao
Y llórale al pajaro muerto
Y llórale al pajaro muerto
El que yo nunca seré
16 The Rebel Spell (03:23)
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready Lord
Walking to Babylon with my gun
(x3)
Brother Rasta is dead, listen everybody says
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
Braggin Boys in blue they shot him through
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
Tonight's the night we're gonna have a big fight
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
They got the power, we got the right
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready Lord
Walking to Babylon with my gun
(x2)
Now it's my turn I'm gonna take my gun
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
And walk to Babylon just like a was a million
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
"They gonna kill you, son!", "Don't worry Mom"
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!
Along my country way I'm gonna shout and say
"They shoot Brother Rasta Dead"
They shoot Brother Rasta Dead!(x2)
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready Lord
Walking to Babylon with my gun (x4)
(Spoken)
Rudy left for the City
But three days later
Washed back by the tide
Found his body on the Riverback ...
19 Darling Darling (01:45)

Pour te serrer fort dans mes bras!

Maintenant je suis plein de chagrin
Et j'entan j'entan au loin
Le cri du dernier train

You steack my friend
You steack my bodystick my friend
Darling darling darling

Cuando tu me hablas como a on cabron
Gitana mia!
Mi corazoncito esta sufriendo
Gitana mia por for
Sufriendo malnutricion
Tu me estas dando mala vida
Cada dia se la traga mi corazon!
