Clandestino (Manu Chao song)
"Clandestino" is the second single and the title track from Manu Chao's first album, Clandestino. The lyrics of the song are sung in Spanish and deal with the issue of immigration: "I wrote it about the border between Europe and those coming from poorer nations. Look around — maybe 30% of the people in this street are clandestino [illegal]."[1] The song peaked at number 78 on the French charts.[2] It charted again in November 2013, peaking at number 196.[3]

gollark: Personal faith = still bad, because you're going around believing in stupid things and *cannot* reasonably isolate that from the rest of your mental framework.
gollark: They are still maybe conscious and sophont?
gollark: I would totally do this if we had the ability to simulate humans at high speed on computers and completely ignored the ethical issues.
