Maná: New Album Arrives Tuesday April 28, 2015

On Recording “Mi Verdad” (My Truth) with Shakira
Recording with Shakira was an idea that we had for years and finally came to life for this album.  It’s a theme based on the experience of being a parent, the need to educate your children, to give them the tools and values they need so that they can survive a world full of lies and false prophets.  Shakira recorded while she was pregnant and interpreted this song with the most intimate conviction possible. The outcome was astounding and very emotional.  That is why we decided on this one as the first single of the album.

On Recording “Somos Mas Americanos”
The concern on social issues is a permanent part of Maná and not only evident in our songs, but also through our tours and in many other circumstances.  Being a public figure implies a social responsibility as well as coherence between what is said and done.  For us, Immigration is a transcendental theme.  Millions of our fellow Mexicans travel north to make a living but to also contribute to the economy and culture of the United States, but they’re treated like criminals and invaders.  To touch upon that reality, on this occasion we did the cover of the song “Somos Mas Americanos” (We are more American) by the legendary band Los Tigres Del Norte. America is not a country, it’s a continent.  The borders are man’s creation and many times arise from spoils.  We’re all American, from Alaska to Patagonia.  This song expresses, like few others, the immigrant’s feelings that he/she feels at home nowhere.  We’re more American…we’re more.
