Borders truly dissolve only for money and weapons. Manu Chao, long before this cynical globalization, was already a citizen of the world. His only passport? His music.

His songs resemble him: they love crossings, blends, universes intertwining.

And his new album, Viva Tu, says the same thing: wealth is meant to be shared. It’s in eyes, hearts, and actions that people can dream of becoming brothers.

On May 9, he released A mi me piace with Alfa, number 1 in Italy and already over 15 million streams: a solar echo of Me Gustas Tu. Then came Vianjando Por El Mundo on Karol G’s album, and Solamente with Santa Fe Klan, a fusion of reggae, rap, and cumbia. Everywhere, Me Gustas Tu resonates again, covered by Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and other global stars.

But Manu doesn’t follow trends: he follows his own path. His collaborations, like his journey, are a transmission — showing that with little — a guitar, a chorus, a flow — you can still strike a chord. His only passport remains the same: fraternity.
