Today’s Video: Happy birthday Manu Chao!

On Thursday several birthdays were celebrated throughout the Americas including Brazilian musician Gilberto Gil and the late Chilean president Salvador Allende. June 26th also happens to be the birthday of eclectic singer Manu Chao; thus, in honor of his 47th-birthday here’s a live performance of “Rumba de Barcelona.”

Earlier this week we also wished a feliz cumpleaños to ex-Mazzy Star vocalist Hope Sandoval.
