Album out today September 29, 2009...after previewing the album it's evident that Bebel is deep in love. You can tell she is pouring out her all into this album. Overall a good lounge album.

My musical savior, Manu Chao has just dropped an album for a psychiatric hospital that uses media as therapy:
For the past five years he’s been working with La Colifata, a Buenos Aires–based radio station run out of a psychiatric hospital that uses media as therapy. “With the help of a few friends, the patients decided to launch this radio station to express themselves. To relieve everything they have inside, and to speak to the world,” the singer has said.
Moved by their stories, he decided to produce a benefit album recorded by the station’s members. The result is La Colifata, 20 songs about everything from loneliness and love to tango and the pope, available here for a small donation that is completely up to you. If you need further proof of his unique relationship with the hospital’s residents, check out the video for “Rainin’ In Paradize,” which features an appearance by “Los Califatos,” as they’re known:
