Is something wrong with my speakers or is this heavily distorted?

"These days"? This album's over 20 years-old.  Nice cover art - that might be Tempest Storm, I believe.

Bonjour à toute la communauté de Radio Paradise,
et je suis ravie d'entendre la Mano Négra, excellent groupe de rock français !

Manu Chao is the man

sounds like Cat Stevens...and Gogol Bordello are collaborating these days.

i find neither the music nor the album art appealing.

Oooo! This is fun!

Definitely a ditto needed for this song:

And not in a good way (is there a good way to be reminded of Googol Bordello?)

Even if they would do, it would be forbidden in your country. ;)

they don't make album covers like that any more.

That was cool.

I do like what Mano Negra has done with this song.

It's a traditional love song coming from North-Africa. No one knows exactly when and where it was born (somebody here?). There are arabic covers, berber language covers (amazigh), hebrew...
I heard it in so many different versions, all of them a long time before Mano Negra or Manu Chao covers, they belong to a certain part of my childhood, when as a child I danced on this in the suburbs where most of the Algerian immigrants were living at that time. The oldest version I remember is the one by Salim Halali...a legend in his style

Diifferent covers of this song here http://www.mesk-ellil.com/?p=1347 - there is a player embedded in the page

jo' ... que pasa'os! dig the A/Vs ;-)

I don't get it. What's to hate about it (yeah I'm seriously asking)?

nice album cover
shame about the 'music'

This sounds like East and West have met and our worst fears about such a thing have been realized.
