Product Reviews
On their eighth studio effort, Guadalajara s Mana continue to evolve their hard rock sound, bringing in influences like the Foo Fighters and pop. The latter influences the lead-off single, Lluvia al Coraz n, a number that doesn t hit as hard as usual when it comes to guitar and drums, but the emotional weight is very heavy and communicated beautifully. Opening with a mournful harmonica, Amor Clandestino is Mana at their most wistful while Sor Maria utilizes a drum machine and a sample of monks chanting for one of the more produced numbers in the band s entire catalog. Mana s growth might not be to every fan s taste, but with the same heart and same conviction as always, this mature and sometimes softer effort feels like a natural progression. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
Product Notes
2011 album from the Latin Music superstars, their first studio album in almost five years. Contains 12 new recordings and all songs were written by the band members themselves. On this production, Mana has made sure they satisfy their diverse group of fans without making much of a change to their formula and style of writing, which has kept them the top Latin act over the past couple of decades. They deliver the raunchy, rock sound of their earlier days in songs like "Mi Reina De Dolor" and at the same time, delivering beautiful, heartfelt ballads such as "Vuela Libre Paloma" and "Amor Clandestino." Drama Y Luz will become another amazing collection for all Latin music fans as it delivers a production that took more than a year to create in recording studios throughout the world, and the end result is Mana at its best
