Mano Negra

Mano Negra was a influential French rock band active mainly in the late 1980s and early 1990s, known for blending punk, rock, reggae, and Latin music. Led by singer Manu Chao, the band created energetic, socially conscious songs that emphasized themes like rebellion, immigration, and multiculturalism. Their innovative style and vibrant performances earned them a dedicated global following, especially within alternative and underground music scenes. Although they disbanded in 1994, Mano Negra's legacy continues through their impact on world music fusion and Manu Chao's subsequent successful solo career.
