Music reviews of Proxima Estaci?n: Esperanza

Music Review: A FANTASTIC FIND!!!
Rating: 5 Stars

A friend of mine, from the Carribean, had this album playing in the background at a party. All of us were like, "Who the hell is this amazing, creative singer???" I'm so glad I found this, as I love the entire album, and you won't find anything in the early 2000's as fresh and creative as this. If you're thinking you might get this out of curiosity, DO IT! I promise, you will not be disappointed. This is particularly a good driving album, as it blends so many genres and tempos that you end up tapping your feet and singing along (even if you don't know what the lyrics mean)! "Me Gustas Tu" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I never get tired of listening to it... It's so darn catchy!

What a talent.

Description of Proxima Estaci?n: Esperanza

2008 reissue of the sophomore solo album from Manu Chao, the former leader of French Alt rockers Mano Negra. Though Mano Negra experienced some success while together, Manu Chao's solo career has earned him an international audience of music lovers and critics. Originally released in 2001, Chao extends his musical reach and adds a heavier Caribbean flavor than his debut album, Clandestino. 17 tracks including 'Merry Blues', 'Eldorado 1997', 'Me Gustas Tu' and more. Because.
The debut from Manu Chao, the former leader of French world-punks Lo Mano Negra, leaned heavily on Latin America for its inspiration, but this time around he's obviously been spending time--at least in his head--in the Caribbean. Reggae rhythms abound, and the opener "Merry Blues" features some wonderfully wonky Jamaican-style brass, while "Promiscuity" takes its cue from Trinidadian calypso. Of course, this being Chao, there are plenty of playful touches--from ringing cell phones to speeded-up vocals--and inevitably there are the Latin influences throughout to remind you of what remains close to his heart ("La Primavera" in particular is a standout). But there's also some recycling from the last album, with two pieces sharing the "King of Bongo" melody, including "Mr. Bobby," his tribute to Bob Marley, and that's a little worrying. Is Manu Chao running out of inspiration? Certainly this doesn't have the freshness of Clandestino, however enjoyable it may be. If anything, it seems more of a holding action rather than a giant step forward. But sometimes that's necessary to be able to look to the future. --Chris Nickson
