Ottawa Bluesfest Days 3-5 feat. Femi Kuti, Michael Franti, Manu Chao, Leo Kottke, and White Stripes

By day three, the Ottawa Bluesfest had taken off: the beer tents and concession stands did brisk business, as a barrage of bands got down to business with politics, finger-picking, and a whole lot of blues.

Manu Chao

When I heard that Manu Chao would be performing in Detroit, I didn’t believe it. After all, we don’t get a lot of Paris-born Zapatista supporters around these parts.

Manu Chao

For a man who has performed in the US only twice in two decades, it's remarkable to see a Brooklyn audience so eager to embrace him.
