著名拉丁摇滚乐队Mana的音乐之路始于1986年的墨西哥西部城市瓜达拉哈拉，乐队由主唱Fher Olvero，吉他手Ulises Calleros，贝斯手Juan Diego Calleros（吉他手Ulises Calleros的兄弟）和鼓手Alex Gonzalez组成。起初，Mana签约的公司是Polygram。但由于在发展方向等问题上与公司意见不和，Mana选择了离开Polygram，转投华纳公司。1992年，Mana的首张正式专辑《Falta Amor》发行。在这张专辑发行后不久，吉他手Ulises Calleros离开了Mana，键盘手Ivan Gonzalez和新吉他手Cesar Lopez加入了乐队。1994年，Mana发行了第二张专辑《Donde Jugaran los Ninos?》。在这张专辑中，Mana已经表现得相当成熟。凭借这张专辑的出色表现，Mana一跃成为拉丁地区最为出色的流行摇滚乐队之一。\r \r 在《Donde Jugaran los Ninos?》之后，吉他手Cesar Lopez也离开了Mana。1995年，Mana发行了他们的首张现场专辑《En Vivo》。同年，又一位吉他手Sergio Vallin加入了Mana乐队。在乐队1995年的专辑《Cuando Los Angeles Lloren》中，Sergio Vallin首次上阵。1997年，随着第四张专辑《Suenos Liquidos》的面世，Mana开始得到了全世界其它地区更多歌迷的关注，尤其是美国歌迷。在1998年的第41届格莱美奖中，Mana凭借专辑《Suenos Liquidos》获得Best Latin Rock/Alternative Performance大奖。接下来，Mana乐队迎来了乐队生涯中的一个小高潮。1999年，Mana发行了与MTV电视台合作的不插电专辑《MTV Unplugged》。此外，Mana还在拉丁吉他大师卡洛斯·桑塔纳（Carlos Santana）在格莱美奖中大赢的专辑《Supernatural》中与前辈Santana合作了一首《Corazon Espinado》。这些都使得Mana乐队在美国的人气空前的高涨。\r \r 2002年8月，Mana的第五张录音室专辑《Revolucion de Amor》出炉，拉丁吉他大师Carlos Santana也投桃报李，赶来为Mana助阵。《Revolucion de Amor》不仅得到歌迷和评论界与歌迷的一致好评，而且还为Mana乐队赢得了第二座格莱美奖杯，获得当年格莱美最佳拉丁的摇滚专辑奖。2006年8月，在苦等了整整四年之后，Mana的第六张专辑《Amar Es Combatir》才与歌迷见面。这张《Amar Es Combatir》在美国迈阿密的The Hit Factory录制完成，专辑在发行首周以8万7千张的单周销量名列Billboard 200专辑榜的第四位，成为用西班牙语演唱的乐队/组合在Billboard 200专辑榜中打榜成绩最好的专辑。\r \r by Marisa Brown\r Latin rock superstars Maná got their start in the Mexican city of Guadalajara in 1986 when singer Fher Olvero, guitarist Ulises Calleros, brother and bassist Juan Diego Calleros, and Cuban-Colombian drummer Alex González joined together, initially signing with Polygram. Unsatisfied with the direction in which the label wanted to take them, they switched to Warner Music by the time their debut, Falta Amor, was released in 1992. Shortly after, however, Ulises left and was replaced by keyboardist Iván González and guitarist Cesar Lopez, who remained with the group only for their seminal 1994 album, Donde Jugaran los Ni?os?, the record that propelled them into the ranks of Latin rock stardom. En Vivo, which captured the energy of Manás live show, was released in 1995, the same year that new guitarist Sergio Vallin made his first appearance, on Cuando los Angeles Lloren. After Sue?os Liquidos came out in 1997, the band began to receive heavy global attention, particularly in the U.S., that was solidified after the release of MTV Unplugged in 1999 and an appearance on Carlos Santanas record Supernatural with the song Corazón Espinado. The legendary guitarist returned the favor when he performed on Manás 2002 Revolución de Amor, the record that definitively showed them for the stars they were and gave them a Grammy for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album. Four years later, the bands sixth studio album, Amar Es Combatir, recorded at Miamis The Hit Factory, was released. In its first week, Amar Es Combatir became the highest charting debut for a Spanish-language album by a group on the Billboard 200.
