After nearly two decades since his last studio album, Manu Chao makes a triumphant return with Viva Tu, released in 2024 on Because Music. The album showcases the beloved intercontinental artist at his most eclectic, weaving together rock, reggae, Latin rhythms, folk, and soul into the kind of genre-defying sound that has earned him a devoted global following. Highlights include an unexpected and captivating collaboration with Willie Nelson on the swampy, harmonica-drenched "Heaven's Bad Day."
Viva Tu finds Chao tackling themes of community, environmentalism, and social critique with his signature light touch — delivering sharp commentary on neoliberalism and collective action wrapped in irresistibly warm, acoustic-driven melodies. This picture disc pressing comes housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed insert, making it a handsome addition to any vinyl collection. Fans who have been waiting years for new music from this singular artist will find it well worth the wait.
