I Know Nothing About World Music

How does one reviews a World Music album when they don't understand a word of the artists' native tongue? Well, it's all about the music, when the words go over your head. Such was the case in 2001 when Manu Chao's Esperanza came out. A dizzying mix of styles compensated for what was foreign to me. Now comes his third album, La Radiolina, and it's done up in the same vein as Esperanza. Of course it's possible to know what Chao is singing about. A couple of songs reference English, and research tells me that the rest are about life and such. Not so much politics. Chao isn't very prolific. Only 3 albums in 9 years. But each one will give your ears an out of your Country experience.
