Próxima Estación: Esperanza (English: Next Stop: Hope) is an album by Manu Chao. It was released in Europe in 2000. It was released in the United States on June 5, 2001 on Virgin Records. Chao and others sing in Arabic, English, French, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish on this album. The name comes from a sample of an announcement for the Esperanza station of Madrid Metro's Line 4, because in Spanish Esperanza means "hope". The voice actor Javier Dotú and a Metro announcer later sued for infringement of intellectual copyright over the use of their voices. In 2010 Esperanza was listed at #65 in Rolling Stone magazine's "Best Albums of the Decade." In 2012, the album listed at #474 on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
