Manitu emerges in European Press Reviews as: “ a different kind of band”, a band that “ … has this spark that makes the difference ”. Fronted by female singer-songwriter Mannalia, the band’s melodic power-rock is a hot blend of powerful and sensual vocal, solid rhythm, creative guitars, rich melodies with a strong message.
