xingon manu tijuana t espera homie !!!!
First time I heard this was on a Juggling Video. Used an app to get this song, here I am. Very catchy upbeat happy feel to this song. Fun stuff!
Regarding my first comment: the melody (for Bongo Bong) is used on Próxima Estación lp. Total of four tracks utilize this versions melody. Andyzamoron@ h o t m a i l . c o m
This is the American "Clandestino " lp version. I've purchased it twice and years apart. Manu is brilliant with dramatically changing songs. I've not itunes. But, it was, probably, the acoustic version. Watch the YouTube vid for Clandestino the song.
Melodically infectious.. . a l l four versions.
No lyrics? there was a link to see the full lyrics :(

There must be some confusion about this song title. iTunes takes you to a different song by Manu Chao with the name Bongo Bong
