Virada Cultural: see Manu Chao's likely setlist for show in SP

One of the greatest spokespeople for Latin American identity in music, singer and composer Manu Chao, 64, promises one of the most anticipated moments of Virada Cultural de São Paulo this Saturday (23), at 0:30 am, on Palco Anhangabaú.

The artist takes the stage to present the show "Ultra Acústico", bringing with him a repertoire that mixes his biggest solo hits, classics from the band Mano Negra and more recent songs from his career.

Between classics and new releases, what can you expect from this Saturday's setlist?
Based on his latest performances and the intimate format of the current tour, the show's setlist should bring back hymns from his career and compositions that created a relationship of identity with the Brazilian public.

Among the classics that should have a permanent place in Sunday's performance are the hits "Me Gustas Tú", "Clandestino" and "Bongo Bong" (version of "King of the Bongo"). The phase with the group Mano Negra will also be celebrated with the energetic "Mala Vida".

In addition, the show should bring together three tracks written in Portuguese in reference to Brazilian culture, such as "Minha Galera", "Corazón No Mar" and the most recent "São Paulo Motoboy", which should rock the São Paulo audience.
