Manu Chao: Viva La Colifata pt2

Manu Chao drops another quick remix album available for free download (I strongly urge you to donate though). Part one was all on one track. This time its in separate tracks...AND he used the Requiem for a Dream beat, which has always been one of my favorite tracks (just waiting to be remixed in soooo many ways!!)...glad to see he did too!!

Parts 1 & 2
