Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Some of the negative reviews that I've read here about this title seem to be a result of the fact that on many of these tracks, Manu Chao strays quite a bit from the original arrangements as originally presented in their studio counterparts. While some of the songs on "Radio Bemba" are missing some of the texture that made them so wonderful in their initial incarnations ("Bongo Bong" for example), over all the re-workings of many of the songs make for a refreshing listen, especially if you have already spun your beloved "Clandestino" CD over a thousand times. While not necessarily a substitute for the original studio versions, many of these songs benefit from the energy infused into them in the live versions, and I think that it proves to be a satisfying listen for the Manu Chao afficianado (especially if one doesn't go in expecting a regurgitation of the studio versions). I was hesitant to pick this up after reading some of the negative reviews, but I am glad that I picked it up.
