Man� is a three-time Grammy Award and four-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Mexican rock band from Guadalajara whose career has spanned almost three decades. Their sound ranges from hard rock to mellow Latin pop with additional influences from calypso and reggae.

Early history

The band was first organized in 1980 under the name of Sombrero Verde (Green Hat). The band began by singing covers in English, but then added Spanish numbers to their repertoire. In 1981, they recorded their first album, Sombrero Verde. Their second album, A Ritmo de Rock appeared in 1983.

The group reorganized under the name of Man� ("supernatural force" (mana) in Polynesia) with Fher Olvera as lead vocalist, brothers Juan Diego and Ulises Calleros on bass and lead guitar, respectively, and Alex "El Animal" Gonz�lez, a young American-born Cuban-Colombian on drums. They released their first eponymous album for Polygram in 1986.

Commercial Success

Unhappy with the direction Polygram was taking them, they switched labels to Warner Music. The group's first album under Warner was Falta Amor, which was released in 1990, but did not become a hit until the following year. The third track from that album "Rayando el Sol" became their first hit single. They began to tour, performing more than 250 times in Mexico, and abroad in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.

In 1991, they added two new members to the group, Iv�n Gonz�lez on keyboards and C�sar "Vampiro" L�pez on guitar. Ulises Calleros no longer performed with the group, but became one of their managers. The following year they released �D�nde Jugar�n los Ni�os? which cemented their status as forerunners of the rock movement in Mexico. The band undertook an international tour with 268 concerts in 17 countries, including an appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

In 1994, Iv�n Gonz�lez and C�sar L�pez "Vampiro" left the group. Fher, Alex, and Juan continued to perform as a trio and released a live album entitled Man� en Vivo with the collaboration of Gustavo Orozco on guitar, Sheila R�os on vocals, and Juan Carlos Toribio on keyboards.

In 1994, Sergio Vall�n was brought in to replace C�sar on guitar. The group released Cuando los �ngeles Lloran. The group also started a foundation that year, Selva Negra, to advocate for ecological causes.

In 1997, the group released Sue�os L�quidos, recorded in Puerto Vallarta, which hit the markets in 36 countries simultaneously. They also released a retrospective album for distribution in Spain called Todo Man�.

In 2002, the group released their fifth album, Revoluci�n de Amor, which garnered Man� their fourth Grammy.

In 2006, after a four-year hiatus, they released their sixth album "Amar Es Combatir" It reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 in its first week, selling over 60,000 copies in the first week(according to Billboard.com). Their new single "Labios Compartidos" has been at the top of the music charts since its debut in July when they played the song live at the Premios Juventud.

Collaborations

In December 1998, they were invited by Carlos Santana to collaborate on his album Supernatural. One of the tracks "Coraz�n Espinado" was composed by Fher. This gave them exposure in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. They also appeared on the Grammy Award presentations, the Tonight Show, and in an MTV live concert. The live performance was released in the Americas and Spain on CD and DVD as MTV Unplugged. They released a greatest hits album for distribution in Italy called Grandes Man�.

In 2003, they released a version of "Eres mi Religi�n" with Italian singer Zucchero and appeared in the annual Pavarotti and Friends concert. At the end of the year, they released a three-disc retrospective called Man� Esenciales.

Their sixth album, "Amar Es Combatir", features a Bachata song entitled "Bendita Tu Luz", a duet along with Dominican Singer Juan Luis Guerra, who is widely regarded throughout Latin-America for his significant contribution to merengue and bachata styles of music.

Critical Review

In 1997, Modern Drummer named Alex Gonz�lez the best drummer in Latin America.

All Music Guide reviewer Sandra Brennan has said "Mexican pop-rockers Man� are considered the kings of Latino rock and have a huge following in the United States."
