Celebrated French singer-songwriter Manu Chao has unveiled his most bizarre collaboration yet – he’s working with football legend Diego Maradona.

The 45-year-old is celebrating his Latin roots by working with award-winning filmmaker Emir Kusturica on his new documentary about the World Cup winning star, which has involved hooking up with Maradona himself.

He tells the Daily Record, “I'm working with Emir Kusturica, a filmmaker who is doing a movie about Diego Maradona, so I've been collaborating and working with Diego.”

Chao, whose new album ‘La Radiolina’ is due out in September, adds, “In the '98 World Cup, when France were in the final, I was the only person from my neighbourhood who was supporting Brazil. I've never been a nationalist."

  • Manu Chao, Maradona & Kusturica.Wow. It should be fun hearing the mainstream media trying to work around these interviews. Manu & Kustu dont have PC viewpoints and have never been shy to express themselves (of course, the media often didnt report them): meaning theyre not whores to their industry like Bono & other sellouts who have helped keep the dying pop music & movie industries afloat. Maradona was an artist just like Steve Nash, Mario Lemieux were to their sports.
