Thanks to my friend Chuck for this great score!
For what seems like today only, pick up or download Radiolina, the new album from Manu Chao from Amazon for just $2.99 (which, at 21 tracks, is like paying just 14 cents a song.)
My sister (soon to be known to readers everywhere as Shoestring's worldly, cheap-chic vacation columnist, Travel Pants), got me hooked on Manu Chao while she was living in Montevideo, Uruguay, a few years back. I could barely pronounce his name correctly, but quickly got hooked on Manu's modern blend of chill-out music with a cosmopolitan, jet-setting intellectual feel (Manu has a hybrid French and Spanish upbringing) and subdued political activism messages.
Apparently, that resonates with Americans right now, as it seems like he's starting to finally draw a following. Pants and I went to check out a new hipper-than-thou Boston boutique the other night, and guess who was on the loudspeakers?...that's right, Manu Chao.
Get your groove on and support the budget-friendly news you love from Shoestring and Bargainista by downloading Manu Chao now from Amazon.com.
Modern / world music not your thing? Download Jay-Z's entire Life & Times of S. Carter, volume 3 for just $0.99!
