In 2004, Chico Mann, in everyday life Marcus Garcia and guitarist for Antibalas, started his own side project Manifest Tone specializing in what he calls "Afro-Freestyle", an organic mix of diverse genres like afrobeat, electro, salsa, disco and funk. This led to three digital albums released in 2006, 2008 and 2010 from which Soundway Records collected the best tracks for this 'The Best Of Volumes 1 - 3'. Enter the intriguing sound universe of Chico Mann, a world in which Fela Kuti, Willie Colon, Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Africa Bambaata and Kraftwerk build a party together as if they've never known otherwise!
