For years, Manu Chao has been travelling the world to meet his fans in unusual venues, villages and small festivals. Elusive, but always accessible to those who cross his path, Manu now presents his new studio album ‘Viva Tu’, a collection of songs written at the heart of daily lives and struggles, and a fresh take on the state of the world, singing sunny, universal songs in Spanish, French, English and Portuguese, painting an unforgiving picture of social imbalances.

The lead song ‘Viva Tu’, a heartfelt rumba dedicated to the daily life heroes, has already made its mark. The second single, ‘São Paulo Motoboy’, is a colorful, sunny ode to the two-wheeled delivery people venturing the Latin American metropoles every day.

The album also features some memorable collaborations, including ‘Heaven's Bad Day’ with country legend Willie Nelson and ‘Tu Te Vas’ with rising French rapper Laeti
