Official Music Video of "Bongo Bong" (not an album version) by Manu Chao.
Album: "Clandestino" 1998-2000
Label: Vergin Records © 2000
The song is Produced by Manu Chao & Renaud Letang.

"Bongo Bong" is the first solo single by Manu Chao from his first album, Clandestino. It is his most successful and recognisable song - a remake of Mano Negra's song, "King of Bongo" (1991), which has its roots from a 1939 recording of "King of the Bongo Bong" by the trumpeter Roy Eldridge. It also uses the background music from Black Uhuru's song "Bull ina di Pen" from their "Anthem" album. It is part of a medley with "Je Ne T'Aime Plus" on the album. The music has been reused for other songs such as "Mr. Bobby" which was first released on this single before being re-recorded for his second album and "Homens" from the same album.
A music video was produced for the song with "Je Ne T'Aime Plus".
In 2006, a cover version by Robbie Williams, combining "Bongo Bong" and
"Je Ne T'Aime Plus" in one track (much in the way the tracks are interwined on Clandestino), appeared on Williams' album Rudebox and was released as a single release of its own in 2007.

  • Manu Chao no es drogas ni para solo volar... Manu Chao es un concientizador y lo que cuenta mas en todo CLANDESTINO de como la humanidad olvida cosas importantes como LA CULTURA, LAS CULTURAS, EL VALOR HUMANO, LA LUCHA CONTRA TODO AQUELLO QUE NOS HACE MAL, ENCONTRA DE LA CHABACANERIA Y SUPERFICIALIDAD... Y eso es muy poco, porque hay tantas cosas en una que solo una persona con acciones como Manu Chao puede hacer...

  • Fúmate un porro con esta música .........iniciaras un viaje psicodelico a otra galaxia..;D
