Title: On the Lyrics
Review: Manu Chao's music is truly enjoyable because it has great Latin American rythms and sounds. Nevertheless, the lyrics may confuse those who are not familiar with the Mexican political landscape. The EZLN is not a political party, but rather a group of armed anarchists who wish to produce economical and political instability in the region by appealing to noble causes. An example of this is how the Subcomandante Marcos viewed the strikers at the National University (UNAM) as having "legitimate demands", when in reality they were asking for the lowering of academic standards and were a minority group rejected by the academic community. Having this in mind, we can continue enjoying the rythm of Manu Chao's music. Excellent album.
