New York City born and New Jersey City based Chico Mann (aka Marcos Garcia), a multi instrumentalist and guitarist with the Afrobeat orchestra Antibalas presents his solo 'Manifest Tone EP'.

The EP represents four of the choicest cuts from Chico Mann's 'Manifest Tone' Volumes 2&3.

The Manifest Tone journey began in 2004. During breaks from touring with Antibalas Marcos began crafting a more personal sound in his basement studio. A hybrid beast of culture and tone, where Fela Kuti and Willie Colon meet Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Afrika Bambaata and Kraftwerk, it lives in a landscape shaped by Africa, Cuba, New York and Miami.

Over the three volumes Chico Mann's own unique style has emerged and evolved (something he has dubbed 'Afro-Freestyle').
