Tracklist
Mana
Probably the biggest of the Rock en Espanol bands, Mexican group Mana has a long history. The core members started recording together under another name in the early 1980s, finally releasing the debut Mana album in 1988. Their sound mixes traditional Mexican and pan-Latin elements with reggae grooves and a heavy '80s-rock influence. There's a strong socio-political foundation to the band's lyrics, borne out by the members' social activism, and marking them as a "people's band." As a massive international presence, Mana has collaborated with Carlos Santana and Ruben Blades, and has earned numerous Grammys, paving the way for the success of younger Rock en Espanol artists.
