L'idea di un live con alle spalle solo due dischi da solista è un po' tirata per i capelli. Specie se si pensa che, guardacaso, un contratto con la Virgin France prevede la pubblicazione di almeno tre dischi con la major. Si potrebbe dunque concludere che il buon vecchio Mr. Chao abbia fatto questo discreto lavoro per 1) Dire finalmente addio alla Virgin (motivo di grandi accuse di incoerenza contro di lui) 2) Mostrare al pubblico l'altra faccia dei suoi primi dischi.
Ne risulta quindi un album "en vivo" mediocre, dove i successi di Clandestino ed Esperanza vengono velocizzati all'inverosimile, sguazzando di conseguenza in uno ska assai ripetitivo, e i vecchi pezzi della Mano Negra sono suonati senza energia. Si sente infatti da subito che i Radio Bemba non reggono bene la scena come i loro predecessori: i musicisti sono tecnicamente tutti molto dotati ma totalmente privi di fantasia, forse perchè limitati dallo stesso Chao, la cui voce non resiste al confronto con il vocalist Bidji. Perfino l'intermezzo Radio Bemba non scalda il pubblico a sufficienza e necessita di altri due Que Paso? e Pinocchio. Scadenti i remake di The Monkey e soprattutto King Kong Five. Per fortuna (e per scelta dello stesso cantante) in questo disco ci viene risparmiata la nenia Me Gustas Tu, commerciale a livelli rivoltevoli. Non che questo sia un brutto disco, ma certamente non all'altezza dei precedenti.

11 EZLN...Para tod@s todo... (01:43)
''...Próxima estación: Avenida de la Paz.''
'''El general en jefe del Ejército Libertador del Sur, Emiliano Zapata
Manifiesto Zapatista en Nahuatl:'''
Al pueblo de México, a los pueblos y gobiernos del mundo:
Hermanos: Nosotros nacimos de la noche,
en ella vivimos, moriremos en ella.
Pero la luz será mañana para los más,
para todos aquellos que hoy lloran la noche,
para quienes se niega el día.
Para todos la luz, '''para todos todo'''.
Nuestra lucha es por hacernos escuchar
y el mal gobierno grita soberbia y tapa con cañones sus oídos,
Nuestra lucha es por un trabajo justo y digno
y el mal gobierno compra y vende cuerpos y vergüenza,
nuestra lucha es por la vida
y el mal gobierno oferta muerte como futuro,
nuestra lucha es por la justicia
y el mal gobierno se llena de criminales y asesinos,
nuestra lucha es por la paz
y el mal gobierno anuncia guerra y destrucción.
Techo, tierra, trabajo, pan, salud, educación, independencia, democracia, libertad...
Estas fueran nuestras demandas en la larga noche de los 500 años.
Estas son hoy nuestras exigencias.
12 Mr Bobby (03:38)
Sometimes I dream about reality
Sometimes I feel so gone
Sometimes I dream about a wild wild world
Sometimes I feel so lonesome
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency
Tonight I dream about fraternity
TONIGHT I say: one day!
One day my dreams will be reality
Like Bobby said to me
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency
Hey Bobby Marley
Sing something good to me
This world go crazy
It's an emergency...
Tonight I watch through my window
And I can't see no lights
Tonight I watch through my window
And I can't see no rights
13 Bongo Bong (01:06)
Mama was queen of the mambo
papa was king of the Congo
deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
in my place instead of me
cause I'm the king of Bongo
baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
I went to the big town
where there is a lot of sound
from the jungle to the city
looking for a bigger crowd
So I play my Boogie
for the people of this city
but they don't go crazy
when I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
Chorus:
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo Bong
Nobody likes to be
in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy
when I'm banging on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
but I'm the king of Bongo
baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Chorus
They said that I'm a clown
making too much dirty sound
they said there is no place
for little monkey in this town
Nobody liked to be
in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy
when I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
Chorus
Banging on my bongo
all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
but I'm the king of Bongo
baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Chorus
Mama was queen of the mambo
papa was king of the Congo
deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
in my place instead of me
cause I'm the king of Bongo
baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come...
18 Clandestino (03:01)
Solo voy con mi pena
Sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino
Para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón
De la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino
Por no llevar papel
Pa' una ciudad del norte
Yo me fui a trabajar
Mi vida la dejé
Entre Ceuta y Gibraltar
Soy una raya en el mar
Fantasma en la ciudad
Mi vida va prohibida
Dice la autoridad
Solo voy con mi pena
Sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino
Por no llevar papel
Perdido en el corazón
De la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino
Yo soy el quiebra ley
Mano Negra, Clandestina!
Peruano, Clandestino!
Africano, Clandestino!
Mariguana, Ilegal!
Solo voy con mi pena
Sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino
Para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón
De la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino
Por no llevar papel
Argelino, Clandestino!
Nigeriano, Clandestino!
Boliviano, Clandestino!
Mano Negra, Ilegal!
20 La despedida (04:04)
Ya estoy curado
Anestesiado
Ya me he olvidado de ti.
Hoy me despido
De tu ausencia
Ya estoy en paz.
Ya no te espero
Ya no te llamo
ya no me engaño
Hoy te he borrado
De mi paciencia
Hoy fui capaz.
Desde aquel día
En que te fuiste
yo no sabía
Que hacer de ti
Ya están domados
Mis sentimientos
Mejor así.
Hoy me he burlado
De la tristeza
Hoy me he librado
De tu recuerdo
ya no te extraño
Ya me he arrancado
Ya estoy en paz.
Ya estoy curado
Anestesiado
Ya me he olvidado.
Te espero siempre mi amor
Cada hora, cada día
Cada minuto que yo viva... Te espero siempre mi amor...
Te quiero... Siempre
Mi amor...
Sé que un día... volverás...
No me olvido y te quiero...T.E.S.M.A...T.E.S.M.A...
26 The Monkey (02:01)
now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
discussing things has they are said to be
said one to the other, now listen you two
there is a certain rumour that cant be true
that man descended from our noble race
the funny idea is a big disgrace
no monkey ever deserted his wife
nor her baby and ruin her life
I said yeah... Monkey speaks his mind
and another thing you will never see
a monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
and let all the coconuts go to waist
forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
now if i build a fence around this tree
starvation will cause you to steal from me
I said Yea... the monkey speaks his mind
here is another thing a monkey wont do
go out at night and get on a stew
or use a gun a club or a knife
to take another monkey's life
Yes man descended the worthless bum
but my god brothers from us he did not come
Yeah... The monkey speaks his mind
