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!
