{"product_id":"9781847656407","title":"Clandestino: In Search of Manu Chao","description":"\u003cp\u003eA decade ago, Manu Chao's band, Mano Negra, toured Colombia by train, negotiating with government troops and rebels - an episode described at the time as 'less like a rock'n'roll tour - more like Napoleon's retreat from Moscow'. That's Manu in a nutshell. He does everything differently. He is a multi-million selling artist who prefers sleeping on friends' floors to five-star hotels, an anti-globalisation activist who hangs out with prostitute-activists in Madrid and Zapatista leader Comandante Marcos in Chiapas, a recluse who is at home singing in front of 100,000 people in stadiums in Latin America or festivals in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClandestino\u003c\/i\u003e has been five years in the writing, as Peter Culshaw followed Manu around the world, invited at a moment's notice to head to the Sahara, or Brazil, or to Buenos Aires, where Manu was making a record with mental asylum inmates. The result is one of the most fascinating music biographies we're ever likely to read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136013189360,"sku":"9781847656407","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847656407_p0.jpg?v=1763751685","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847656407","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
