Manu Chao is probably used to playing to coliseums and coliseums overflowing with people in South America whenever he holds a concert. His "La Aventura" tour is his first North American tour. The crowds here (depending on the cities, maybe; in this post I'm referring to the Charlotte, NC crowd) are perhaps smaller, but the spirit is the same. The Fillmore was at capacity with fans, the majority of which were Latino (and I use this term in a very loose PC sort of way). Everyone, regardless of race and culture, were transported into the an cultural atmosphere of something distinctly multiculturally Latin psychedelic dub reggae punk alternative. (Those should be enough adjectives to convey the genre clearly, right?)Can the American experience 'the spirit' of this kind of concert in the same way as the immigrant? 1st gen immigrants? 2nd gen immigrants? Etc?
