Malalma - Porro. Manu Chao night.

Malalma from Bogotá play secret Manu Chao after-party squat gig
Manu was in London to do Later and it appeared he had been invited to visit a large Spanish/Latin American squat on ??????, SE15. As i live in SE15 the PR mentioned to me i might like to drop in. Amazing space. Not a house but an actual piece of land with large locked steel gates at the front running alongside a railway bridge with what must have been once a block of flats. In one of the spaces they have a stage and bar - really nice space. I used to go to a lot of squats in the early 90s but this is definitely the most together (and largest) I've ever seen.

The band playing when i was there was a bit like the band who opened for MC at Brixton - homage/imiatation, lots of dreads and Che T-shirts. Yes, it would be easy to send up Manu's fans. Apparently the people who run the squat introduced themselves to Manu when he was in Brixton and he promised to come along. I heard someone ask as to whether he would sing and he suggested he wasn't up to it but i didn't stay late so who knows - MC rocking a SE15 squat, the stuff of legend! Manu, as ever, was very relaxed and un-star like. So rare that you encounter a famous entertainer who doesn't hide from or feel superior to their public.
