Chico Mann is the alter ego of guitarist Marcos Garcia, founding member of the Daktaris and Antibalas. As Chico Mann, he released Manifest Tone, Vol. 1 in 2007, on which he played all instruments, produced, and sang -- all the vocals were in Spanish and wove together Afro-Cuban, hip-hop, and soul sounds with Afro-beat. His next offering, Analog Drift, appeared on Wax Poetics in 2010 to positive reviews internationally. Here, salsa, Afro-beat, proto-hip-hop-soul, and the sounds of DJ culture came together in a frenetic, infectious gumbo. Mann released the Hanukkah single "Light of Love" (featuring Alecia Chakour) in December of 2012 via his Bandcamp page. His third album, Magical Thinking, was released by Miles Cleret's Soundway label in March of 2013. ~ Thom Jurek
