Manna charges against "the lies of the media, networks and dictators of Latin America" in "My truth«, The new single from the album 'Bed on fire', which was just released by Warner Music. It is the ninth studio album by this Latin band with 40 million copies sold in their career and four Grammys.
«My truth», a song in which Shakira collaborates, is «a slightly Cuban bolero» that vocalist Fher Olvera wrote for Dalí, his 7-year-old son, although «it also has a significant burden of denunciation, of how we live in a world full of lies. «It has an important load of Latin American and also Spanish reality. I think they are also fried with corruption there, "says the 55-year-old musician, who is a member of Maná along with Juan Calleros, Alejandro González and Sergio Vallín.
In addition to "My truth", there is another moment of undoubted social background in the first version recorded in the history of Maná, for which they looked at an emblem of Mexican folklore, Los Tigres del Norte, and in its theme "We are more Americans ». Despite these two themes of great social weight, Olvera emphasizes that "Bed on fire" is, above all, a "horny and sexy" album, in which they, repeat offenders convinced of certain musical traits that have made them very recognizable, dare to explore new stylistic territories.
«We really like that people are up at the concerts and we came from a very dramatic album, 'Drama y luz' (2011). We wanted to move that, "confirms Olvera, who argues that the change is not motivated by criticism of his musical immobility, but because his heart was asking for it. In this process, his first collaboration with producer George Noriega, who had already worked with Gloria Estefan, Shakira and Ricky Martin, has been decisive.
El result is a disk «More beachy, with calypso, 'reggae' and some electronic music», with a «sexier and hornier look to dance», in which they include the most provocative metaphors of their career, see, «I'm going to penetrate your bow iris "or" my lips want to go down to your fish tank. "
