Maná

Mana's story begins in the mid-seventies in Guadalajara, Mexico, thanks to four friends coming together to perform songs from Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. These friends formed a group called 'The Green Hat Spies', which eventually would become 'Green Hat' and finally, in 'green hat' and its translation into Spanish.
As 'green hat' released two albums: 'Green Hat' and 'To the rhythm of rock', with rather poor results in terms of sales. Due to the failure of the group were several changes in band members, who eventually left with the following components: Fernando Olvera (Fher), Alejandro Gonzalez (Alex), and the brothers Juan and Ulises Calleros. Since then decide to change his stage name from that to 'Mana' and use Latin rhythms in his compositions.


In 1987 they published his first album, titled 'Mana', with modest results, and in 1989 the second, 'Lack of love.'
Would be during the next two years as Mana would be released across the country, with over
seventy concerts and several awards and gold records for his work.


In 1992 he edited 'Where children play?', Recorded in a studio in Los Angeles. Ulyses Callero becomes the manager of the group and enter César López (Vampire) and Ivan Gonzalez. The album became a bestseller, not only in Mexico but in most Spanish speaking countries.


In late 1993, Vampire and Ivan leave the group, and enters Sergio Vallin as the fourth member of the band.


In 1995 released a new album 'When Angels Cry', which again becomes an international success. Two years later a new album sees the light: 'Liquid Dreams'. It is published simultaneously in 26 countries, including Spain, where he won the gold in just two months. With this album Maná perform a major tour throughout Latin America, United States, Canada, Spain and an endless number of countries. In 1999 Manna published a new album, 'MTV Unplugged', for that television, and collaborated with Carlos Santana on his latest album.


In 2002 comes to light their seventh studio album Maná, recorded in Los Angeles, entitled 'Love Revolution', a mix of reggae, funk and a touch of Afro-Cuban music. But above all, Rock at its best. The theme of the lyrics reflect deep feelings about love, heartbreak and longing.


The album features the collaboration of Ruben Blades and Carlos Santana, who thus returns to the collaboration visit the group did on the last disk of the master Santana.


In 2006, after a long wait, Maná publishes a new work entitled 'Love is to fight'. The album is produced by Mana with the special collaboration of recording engineer Thom Russo (who has worked alongside major music stars such as Audioslave, Macy Gray, Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton, among many others). The album includes an excellent duet with Juan Luis Guerra on "Bless Your Light."


Maná published in 2008 live album "Arde el cielo", recorded during the world tour of "Love is fight." Besides the big hits of his career, the album includes two previously unreleased tracks, "If you had not gone" and "Burn the sky."


In 2011, six years after their last studio recording, Maná publishes 'Drama and light'. Posted on April 12, 2011, this album features 12 new songs Manna, whose first single is titled 'Rain Heart', followed by its corresponding video clip. The full version of 'Drama and light' includes a DVD where the band shows us the making of this album, an album that the band dedicated to the mother and the sister of singer Fher, died in 2010.


Produced by Fher, Alex and Sergio, 'Drama and light' was first recorded in May 2010 between Puerto Vallarta and Los Angeles and its completion took place in the Henson Recording studios in Los Angeles.
