25 July 2024 - Maná - Lluvia Al Corazón

What?  We're ending our hiatus on an obscure Spanish-language song?

Yes.  Yes we are.  

You see, Maná has been around since the early 1980s (in 1981 as Sombrero Verde, adopting their later name in 1986) - and yet, this 2011 song, literally thirty years into their career as a band, was a breakthrough single for them in their home country of Mexico.  They had other singles, and a couple of other hits - and a ton of US Latin Chart hits - but this one - this launched them into the upper stratosphere of hitmaking.

But, this is a band that has won many awards, including four Grammys and eight Latin Grammys.  

It's a mournful and still an upbeat song.  And it doesn't matter that you don't speak Spanish.  Enjoy the emotion.


Of course they did a pandemic live version, 9 years after its release.  And of course it sounded just like the original.   Maná has been nothing if not consistent!
