yeah it can be confusing because Manu Chao has at least two other songs that sound like this one, one of them is "homens" and the other I don't remember its name
I've been looking for this song for good 4 years. For some reason I coupd not find it anywhere at all. I checked every radio history playlist I could find, I looked at every playlist of famous songs I could find, yet no luck. Untill I went to my friends birthday party and absolutelly randomly one of his friends decided to ocnnect their playlist to main speakers and played this song, finally bringimg me to peace. Yes. I truly thought I will never hear this again. I can die in peace now
Most excellent dude! I’ve had similar experiences with other songs, but I got reacquainted with Bongo Bong a few years ago watching a band called The Big Push playing it live on a rooftop - look for “The Big Push - Bongo Bong (Manu Chao Cover) - 🍷 🎸 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Escuchaba a Manu en el 97 cuando estaba por trabajo en Puerto Montt, Chile, que recuerdos melancólicos y Felices a la vez, extraño mi juventud, todo el mundo por delante !!!!
Descubrí esta canción en París, cuando iba a hacer un curso de instructores de Aikido Yoshinkan. Me ha marcado para siempre. Los tonos, los acordes, el ritmo... es perfecto. Te llega al alma.
Esta canción es simplemente una obra maestra, y aunque pasen los años y se haga cada vez menos escuchada, yo nunca abandonaré estas letras. Representan mucho para mí, me recuerdan a mi juventud y todas las aventuras que se vivían en aquella época. Gracias Manu por volvernos a visitar. Saludos desde Concepción, Chile.

Bethany Hamilton's brother showed me this song when we visited their family in Hawaii. This brings me back. That was such an epic trip. I want this song played at my funeral!
I’m kinda shocked by the comments about people looking for years and years for this song. The lyrics repeat the song multiple times…and if you search king of the bongo….its not that hard. Glad they found it, though. Love this album
I have no idea how to i can explain this everytime I hear this I just wanna dance there's just this thing where I listen to the song I get so calm and relaxed and I think about good old days
Estoy perdidamente enamorada de esta canción y el álbum en general. Mi gusto musical es bastante amplio en tanto a diferentes artistas y géneros musicales, pero realmente estoy fascinada con este pedazo de arte, hace mucho no me sentia así con la música, y de lo único que puedo sentirme arrepentida ahora mismo es de haberme demorado tantos años en investigar más sobre Manu Chao y su magnífica música. Amo como logra conectar a tantos paises con miles de diferencias culturales entre ellos solo con música que alimenta al alma y nos da esperanza de un mejor mañana. Aún soy muy menor y se que me queda mucho por descubrir, pero a menos de 10 días del 2025, deseo que este nuevo año esté lleno de música d este gran artista y muchas tardes en donde me desvele escuchando este hermoso álbum. Muy felices fiestas y feliz año nuevo para el que esté leyendo esto, si es que alguien lo hace. Por un año lleno de alegrias y música d Manu Chao, saludos desde Argentina!! 💓

I SEARCHED FUCKING EIGHT YEARS FOR THIS SONG AND TODAY I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY
But i hope you still alive ;)
I was at the Cincinnati Zoo and heard this song playing in the gift shop. I didnt leave until someone told me the name of this song! :)
yeah it can be confusing because Manu Chao has at least two other songs that sound like this one, one of them is "homens" and the other I don't remember its name
Me too, finally i used shazam with the radio
A true masterpiece of musical talent
This cant get more correct
What makes you feel that?
That one note will always bring so much memories to so many people..
Yes. It's funny how music works.

Woooooooow, what a story,have you tried youtube?..
@@nikolozka1 Well, duh? But when you don't know the name of the author and the song, youtube haven't helped that much
I actually found this through The Big Push’s cover. And then I ran to hear what this was. Absolutely phenomenal as well!
Su labor social en Latinoamérica es grandiosa.
Más Manu Chao necesitamos.
No al comunismo, solo artistas haciendo musica

This song is just perfect ✨👌🏻

Je me disais, si Manu savait que grâce à lui, ce soir je suis mieux dans ma solitude.❤
Thank you for all the memories ❤
Manu Chao ..... das beste was gibt ;D
The song made me wake up just to find out what the name was and now I'm listening to it again. It's a very good song.
Viva Manu Chao! Um artista repleto de canções encantadores e que transmuta em felicidade qualquer energia desprovida de bondade.

Переносит в детство, деревня, лето, магнитофон. Привет из Москвы❤
2024 y seguimos acá #Manu💜🇦🇷

Yes bongo bong...good feeling 😊
Yo it’s perfectly telling that so many comments are like “I’m so happy I finally found this” like Manu Chao wrote kinda a timeless song
Please don't say this, human traffic SHOULD end
Moi, j'écoute tjrs en 2024.
Indémodable. ÉNORME.
👍💪♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️...
Moi mtn
Je le écoute
My wife worked with some Colombian girls that introduced her to Manu Chao's music. Absolutely love this.
I'm love the Bong Bong!!!
Me too and i also like Clandestino, El Viento and The Monkey
Almost 20 years.... and still loving this song..
Honestly, this grew on me. I used to hate it but I'm chill now so I like it 😂.
Respeito total a mano chao
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my Boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Nobody likes to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
They said that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They said there is no place
For little monkey in this town
Nobody liked to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
I'm the
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
Banging on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
King of the Bongo bong)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come
Thanks for posting the lyrics. It sounds like he's saying "hit me when I come."
Living in Italia... damn
You're so awesome

muito bom manu chão maximo respeito
La escuché en la radio hoy 🥺 como pude estar 10 años sin conocer esta canción.
Sus canciones son unas joyas, y me siento afortunada de seguir escuchándolo con el mismo gusto de la primera vez, en este pleno año 2020!
Yo me siento afortunada de a verlo conocido es el dios manu 😎

Espantajeria y Mamarrachez¡¡¡
Tremendo MARIHUANO y Cocainomano es este manu chao eso explica este tipo de ruidos.
i searched my whole life since i was baby 🤪 thank you for this banger song, now i can leave earth and go to space tomorrow.
Best song of the world
Manu Chao is life!
Esta cancion me da demasiada nostalgia la escuchaba cuándo era chica en el 2009 mi mama se ponia a escucahr esta cancion cuando era joven
Escuchándola a todo volumen, faltan un mes para que se acabe el 2023
man that gives me flashbacks they played that song alot on the radio in the early 2000's
Ça sonne «indémodable » pour moi. Pas une seule ride, toujours aussi agréable
Simplemente lo mejor de la musicaaa!!
