Following performances at festivals like Rockslide, Werchter, Lowlands, Pinkpop, Coachella, Sziget and even the local B'estfest, Manu Chao will be back to Bucharest with a concert part of the La Ventura world tour. Manu Chao will perform this spring on the Palace Hall stage, on April 16, a concert that will contain all his hits in recent years. The tour includes a series of special concerts dedicated to his most avid fans at a deliberately lower ticket price than for his usual performances. There is only one category of tickets available (RON 120-ticketing services included) and you can book them here.

Manu Chao (by his real name José-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao) made his musical debut in the mid ‘80s, singing in the band Hot Pants. Then came Mano Negra, a project in which he performed alongside with his brother and his cousin with whom he released no less than five albums. His solo debut took place in the late ‘90s, with the first album-“Clandestino”-being released in 1998. Album singles like” Bongo Bong” and “Clandestino” quickly reached the top position in the charts, Manu Chao becoming world’s new relevation on international music scene. “Proxima Estacion: Esperanza” followed in 2001, with the megahit “Me gustas tu” and three years later “Siberie, m’etait conteee”-the artist’s first album in French. In 2007 Manu Chao launched his fourth studio album-“La Radiolina”-his first single, “Rainin’ in Paradize” enjoying a music video directed by famous Emir Kusturica.

He sings in French, Spanish, English, Galician, Arabic and Portuguese and occasionally in other languages. More about Manu Chao on his website here.
