Chao's musical journey began in the vibrant Parisian music scene, where he immersed himself in diverse influences ranging from punk and rock to reggae and salsa. Co-founding the band Mano Negra in 1987, Chao showcased his knack for blending genres, resulting in international acclaim with albums like "Patchanka" (1988) and "Casa Babylon" (1994).

His innovative use of technology, including recording exclusively on a laptop, reflects his commitment to artistic experimentation. Through his music, Chao has championed themes of cultural diversity, social justice, and global solidarity, earning him a revered status as a visionary musician and cultural ambassador.

Bloody Bloody Border
Manu Chao Lyrics
Arizona blues, no more
Arizona arrest, no more
We want freedom to cross, cross the border line
Freedom's no crime, let peaceful river flow
Let the people come and go
We want freedom to cross, freedom to pass
The never last Arizona blues
Bloody bloody border, no more
Sanguinary times, Arizona arrest, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border, Arizona blues, no more
Sanguinary times, Arizona arrest, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border
Being suspicious, being detained
Being searched, being arrested, bloody bloody border
Immigration lows, Arizona crows, sanguinary times
Immigration lows, Arizona crows, no more
Bloody bloody border, no more
Sanguinary times, 287G, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border, SB 1070
Sanguinary times, no more, no more
We want freedom to cross, cross the border line
Freedom's no crime, let peaceful river flow
Let the people come and go
We want freedom to cross, freedom to pass
The never last Arizona blues
Bloody bloody border, Arizona arrest, no more
Sanguinary times, Arizona blues no more, no more
Bloody bloody border, being suspicious, no more, no more
Being searched, sanguinary times, being detained, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border
Sanguinary times, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border, 287G, no more, SB 1070, sanguinary times
We want freedom to cross, cross the border line
Freedom's, no crime, let peaceful river flow
Let the people come and go, bloody bloody border
We want freedom to cross, freedom to pass
The never last, Arizona blues, Arizona lose no more
Arizona arrest, no more, bloody bloody border
Maricopa blues, no more, Arizona blues, sanguinary times
Being suspicious, being searched, being detained, no more
Sanguinary times, no more, no more, no more
Being arrested, bloody bloody border
Immigration lows, Arizona crows, no more, bloody bloody border
Immigration lows, Arizona crows, no more, bloody bloody border
Being suspicious, no more, being detained, no more
Being searched, being arrested, bloody bloody border
Arizona arrest, no more
We want freedom to cross, cross the border line
Freedom's no crime, let peaceful river flow
Let the people come and go
We want freedom to cross, freedom to pass
The never last Arizona blues
Bloody bloody border, no more
Sanguinary times, Arizona arrest, no more, no more
Sanguinary times, Arizona arrest, no more, no more
Bloody bloody border
Being suspicious, being detained
Being searched, being arrested, bloody bloody border

I love how the song is so cheerful while talking about such tough issues. It underlines how these problems are not covered by mainstream media (where I live at least).

Así es, Manu en si mismo es un puente... Uniendo culturas con su música viajera, trabajando con músicos de sudamérica, produciendo talentos que encuentra en la calle, como pacha gonzález. Y siempre haciendo más y más canciones de calidad... Abrazos desde argentina
