Colombia does not have a long tradition in rock’n’roll, how come Colombian music in general
We’ve seen? there is so much talent out fine musicians, composers and singers. Colombia has one of the most important festivals outdoors. It’s called Rock Park, where national and international bands who have been more than 20 years are presented.
Continuing with the theme of Colombia, how was it working with Shakira in song “My truth”?
It was really cool experience. She sings very cute and has much significance. When the subject came really think my talent and was the first time we invited a female voice. We stayed in handy, because she was pregnant at the time and despite their status liked the song.
Does she really cried while singing the song?
When he heard it said that he came tears. When we were in Barcelona making the video had to stop, because he was in makeup. It is a letter that talks about how we live in a world of deception, a world of lies and you need someone to be your truth, your pillar, your oasis.
Mana always been characterized by lifting voice when needed. There’s a snippet of the song “My truth” in which you say “merciless dictators”, why?
Have been several dictators in Latin America. One is Maduro. It is not fair that they are getting to jail people who are protesting, that is not democracy, not plurality, that is a dictatorship. Imprisoning someone for expressing his ideas. Really Latinos have been with the cancer of corruption. The good news is we have a very powerful weapon binding and expression: the social networks that can give battle to all this
On this album I hear them sing in English. , will you break the boundaries?
Yes. The Spanish league is a very important and so is English.
But why mainstream English?
It’s a very natural thing that came out . It’s like when a writer translated the book into different languages and want to share their ideas. People always says, you would be more famous if they had sung in English for years. We are very proud to be Latino, but suddenly one wants to be in contact with the public in the US or Europe. For us there are no rules in music, but does not mean that now only going to sing in English.
Another song from the album is “Irony” is it here to immortalize love?
Irony talks about how love gives you so much joy but also causes you so much sadness. It’s like heaven and hell at the same time and tries to summarize the complexity of human relationships. The letter came to the first sitting. He began carving in pencil and then ran down.
However, after the nail is removed with a song like “Spider Web”.
Cobweb is a wonderful theme. The lyrics, the music, is a story that goes very pecked in relationships but that’s life and you have to enjoy it while it lasts, but we must also try to care.
Why album is called “burnt bed”?
It’s a passion that is burning on a bed. In bed you are born, you grow, reproduce and die at the end. The bed is the stage of humanity and our record is called Bed burned by fire represents. It is a sensual album and this expression describes it well.
