The Best of Mano Negra [Ark 21] (1999)

About this title: The Best of Mano Negra showcases the eclectic style that made the band an influential cult favorite among political punks. Mano Negra's combination of Arab, African and punk styles and a socially conscious outlook inspired like-minded artists such as Rage Against the Machine, and this 24-track collection spotlights their incendiary, energetic sound. Tracks include "Mala Vida," "Rock Island Line," "Peligro" and "Mad Man's Dead." Heather Phares, All Music Guide
