https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao?wprov=sfti1#Political_views_and_activism:

"Chao believes that our world lacks spaces for "collective therapy" and describes his concerts as small temporary spaces where people of different backgrounds can come together.[[21]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-Youtube-21)

Chao's lyrics provoke his audience to think about immigration, love, living in [ghettos](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto), drugs, and often carry a [left-wing](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics) message. This reflects Chao's own political leanings—he is very close to the [Zapatistas](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation) and their public spokesman, [Subcomandante Marcos](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcomandante_Marcos).[[1]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-beater-1) He has many followers among the European left, the Latin American left, the [anti-globalisation](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-globalisation), and [anti-capitalist](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-capitalist)movements.[[22]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-rp-22) Chao is a founding member of [ATTAC](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATTAC).[[23]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-23) Punk and reggae historian [Vivien Goldman](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivien_Goldman)commented of his work, "I was writing about [Good Charlotte](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Charlotte) and [The Police](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Police). They adopted the trappings of punk. They aren't bad groups, but the punk aspect is more manifested by somebody like Manu Chao. He's one of the punkiest artists out there I can think of. It's an inclusionary spirit that is punk."[[24]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-24)["](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Chao#cite_note-24)

Manu Chao is so popular in south America. Loved by many.

His parents are Spanish from Spain but they immigrated to France. Manu Chao was born in Paris, France!
