What it is
"Clandestino" is the title track of Manu Chao's first solo album (1998), sung in Spanish and released as a single in 2000. The song deals with immigration and draws on reggae and Latin music. Chao said it is about the border between Europe and people coming from poorer nations, and that a single street can hold many undocumented people, which gives the song its title.
