He charmed her, and they played music together for hours. \u201cIf he wasn\u2019t taken, I\u2019d be very happy to be Mrs Chao.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The two rebel stars hit it off so well they ended up working together on Calypso Rose\u2019s 2016 album \u201cFar From Home.\u201d More than 60 years after writing her first song, that album\u2019s utterly irresistible mix of old and modern calypso, soca, with a dash of reggae and Chao\u2019s trademark guitar, became the biggest international selling album of her life. The follow-up album 2018\u2019s \u201cSo Calypso\u201d also on Because Music solidified her new global fan-base. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This year, at 78, she was the oldest ever artist to star at the Coachella Festival. Now the duo are releasing a red hot update of Manu Chao\u2019s classic hit from 1998 \u201cClandestino\u201d &#8211; with its lyrics about illegal migrants, who are specks in the ocean or ghosts in the city, lost with no papers. Calypso Rose sings new words about being stranded at sea \u201cthe land in front don\u2019t want me, the land behind me burns\u201d. The song has, sadly, even more relevance and urgency than when it was first recorded. \u201cWhen I saw these things on television, I cried that this should be happening in the 21st century.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A graphic video, directed by Wise Bird studio, is released on the same day as the single. The vibrant video suggests \u201cwe value what \u2018the clandestine\u2019 can bring. They are not just shadows that society would not like to see.\u201d Both Manu and Rose have a long history of music about the dispossessed and marginalised. When she was young, church groups tried to stop her performing; calypso was a \u201cman\u2019s domain\u201d. On \u201cFar From Home\u201d, she reprised her 1969 song \u201cNo Madame\u201d, which criticised the treatment of domestic servants and has been credited with spurring legal changes to improve servants\u2019 conditions in her home country.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[235],"tags":[414],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4686,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4684\/revisions\/4686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ecletismomusical.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
