Manu Chao has been making impossible-to-pigeonhole music since his days with his Latin reggae band Mano Negra. His blend includes rock, Arab, reggae, flamenco, various African styles, samba, funk — the list is endless. He sings in English, Spanish, Wolof, and several other languages and is a superstar just about everywhere in the world but here. His stage shows are known for their wild, unpredictable vibe: since he seldom tours, this is a show not to miss. At Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco Wednesday, May 30. 7:30 p.m., $30.
