Since they burst on the scene from Guadalajara, Mexico, in the early '90s, Maná have reigned as the premier Latin rock band of our time. Led by the powerful and passionate vocalist-composer Fher González, drummer Alex González, and the incredible guitarist Sergio Vallin, the combo beautifully blends American power rock with Hispanic folk idioms and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. This three-CD compilation contains the band's greatest hits, from their debut CD, Falta Amor to their groundbreaking, Grammy Award-winning MTV Unplugged recording. All of their favorites are here, including "Vivir Sin Aire," "Dónde Jugarán los Niños?," "Se Me Olvido Otra Vez," and the reggae-tinged "Selva Negra." Unlike their American counterparts who sing songs about parties and sex, Maná has performed a number of socially conscious compositions. The most prominent tunes in that genre are "Cuando Los Angeles Lloran," composed for the legendary Brazilian environmentalist-activist Chico Mendez, and "Ana," a song about teenage pregnancy. Other favorites, such as "La Chula" and "Como Tedeseo," are remixed as pop-dance numbers. All told, this recording shows why Maná has a loyal fan base--ranging from the author Gabriel García Márquez to Carlos Santana--throughout the Americas. --Eugene Holley Jr.
