Manu Chao Sings One for the Couriers on ‘Sao Paulo Motoboy’

Hear Manu Chao's "São Paulo Motoboy," off his upcoming 'Viva Tu' album.

On “São Paulo Motoboy,” Manu Chao narrates the ballad of a daredevil motorcycle courier weaving in and out of traffic in the Brazilian megalopolis to make a delivery, or he’ll be fired. In addition to “São Paulo Motoboy” and the previously released “Viva Tu,” the Viva Tu album — due out Sept. 20 — will hold 11 more songs, which the Parisian-born Chao presents in Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English. Willie Nelson joins him on “Heaven’s Bad Day” and Laeti sings “Tu Te Vas” with him.
