So we have to be able to play all kind of music to please all the people in a subway. There was people from a lot of different countries, different cultures. And so the people using the subway in Paris was very eclectic. This is what made the musicians of Mano Negra. Manu Chao said in Alt.Latino in 2011, "Mano Negra started playing in a subway in Paris before the band started to be known and selling records. In 1987, the Chao brothers and their cousin Santiago Casariego founded the band Mano Negra. Los Carayos remained a side project of the artists for eight years, releasing three albums in the first two years followed by a final album in 1994. By the time the group released their first album in 1986 the Parisian alternative music scene had taken flight, and Manu, his brother Antoine Chao, and friends such as Alain from Les Wampas formed Los Carayos to incorporate this sound with the rockabilly and punk styles of Hot Pants. The group released a demo entitled "Mala Vida" in 1984, which received plenty of local critical praise but otherwise gained them little attention.

As he grew up he was surrounded by many artists and intellectuals, most of whom were acquaintances of his father. Shortly after Manu's birth, the Chao family moved to the outskirts of Paris, and Manu spent most of his childhood in Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres. They emigrated to Paris to avoid Francisco Franco's dictatorship-Manu's grandfather had been sentenced to death. 4.2 Mentioned in The Journal of Natural and Social PhilosophyĬhao's mother, Felisa Ortega, is from Bilbao, Basque Country, and his father, writer and journalist Ramón Chao, is from Vilalba, Galicia.4.1 Interview with the University of Southern California (2010).2.2 Solo years with Radio Bemba (1995–present).
