BEAT LATINO: Celebrating 25 years of CLANDESTINO

In 1998, Manu Chao released one of the Latinx songbook’s most influential albums: Clandestino. As an album focusing on topics of immigration and social justice in the first person, the French/Spanish Chao shaped the sound of nuestra música’s future. This week’s Beat Latino shares a variety of versions of Beat Latino along with poignant, powerful border tunes. Enjoy!
