Manu Chao – La Couleur du Temps (2025) is a curated Chanson, World, Acoustic compilation and album release issued via Radio Bemba (2025-12-15). Spanning a total runtime of 00:19:50 across 8 tracks, this release delivers club-ready production, crisp low-end weight, and refined electronic grooves tailored for DJs and modern dancefloor selectors.

Tracklist:

La Couleur du Temps (2025) is an EP released by Manu Chao to support the titular single from his full-length comeback album, Viva Tu. The title track is an acoustic ballad sung in French, imbued with melancholy and reflections on social injustice and the inexorable passage of time ("I know the color of time, I know the street of children…").

Unlike the artist's signature sunny rumba rhythms, this release immerses the listener in a more wintry, contemplative atmosphere. The 2025 edition expands upon the original by including remixes (such as the one by Mariano Mellino), which transform the intimate guitar sound into a format suitable for electronic venues while preserving the poignancy of Chao's vocals.
