Spanish I Could Like...

Artist: Mana
Country: Mexico
World Music all sounds the same, this statement could not be less true. I reviewed Ojala pudiera borrarte, and Vivir Sin Aire, both by the band Mana. One of them has a more prominent sound of the guitar, and one of them is more prominent in drums. One of them is mellow, while one of them is peppy. One of them you could almost sing along to (if you knew Spanish), while the other you could probably not sing along to unless you were a fanatic. They started their career in Mexico but then started to perform in the USA.
I could only find two songs by them, even though they have multiple albums out, without buying them. Think that they are important because they show that not all world music is a whole bunch of African drums and chanting.
Ojala pudiera borrarte (mana) (Amar es Combatir) - this song is mellow, and all in spanish. Even though I can not understand the vocals I read a youtube review that said that it had the best lyrics. The guitar seems to be very simple. and there seems to be very little drums, and when there is they are far in the background. The guitar solo is not overwhelming like a lot of the English music I listen to.Vivir Sin Aire (mana)(MTV unplugged) - a very different style than the other song. Once again in Spanish, it repeats a lot, “como se quira”. The drums are heard a lot more in this song than in the other. The guitar is acoustic, or atleast it sounds acoustic.
