Bottom/ While La Mano Negra ("The Black Hand") was a supposed secret and violent Anarchist organization in Spain in the end of the 19th century, Mano Negra was a French band fronted by Manu Chao. Puta's Fever (Virgin) was released in 1989. Their music mixed a number of styles: punk rock (influenced by The Clash), reggae, ska and Latin music (with a brass section). The band had been among the pioneers of world music fusion and are a direct influence on countless bands in Europe and South America. Top/ Single "King of Bongo" by Mano Negra. The mix of African, Latin and other rhythms is often called mestizo or patchanka (which is the name of one of Mano Negra's albums).
