Manu Chao Makes The Most Of Rare Appearance


When singer/guitarist Chao and his Radio Bemba Sound System band (comprised of a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer and percussionist) arrived, three of them were already shirtless, no doubt knowing what a hot and sweaty show they were in for. Everyone on stage was jumping during the opening number, and periodic leaping broke out throughout the night both on stage and in the crowd. While the sextet urged fans to sing, dance, clap and thrust their fists in the air, they needed no prompting. This was no average placid Toronto rock show audience, and you can probably chalk up its exuberance to the large European and Latin contingent in the house as well as the high-energy music.
