Huele a tristeza

The song Huele a tristeza by Maná, with a duration of 4:45, is part of the album ¿Dónde jugarán los niños?, released in 1992. This record marked a particular moment for the Mexican band, as it was the only one in which they performed as a quintet, incorporating Iván González on keyboards and César López, known as "Vampiro", on guitar; both musicians later pursued different paths in 1994. The album itself was a milestone, consolidating for many as the band’s masterpiece, housing hits like Oye mi amor and Cachito, and selling 13 million copies worldwide, distributed in over 40 countries.

The lineup that recorded ¿Dónde jugarán los niños? included Fernando Olvera on rhythm guitar and vocals, Juan Calleros on bass, and Alejandro González on drums and vocals, alongside the aforementioned Iván González and César López. Maná’s sound draws from pop rock and Latin rock, which allowed them to gain international notoriety initially in places like Australia and Spain, later expanding their popularity to the United States, Western Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Throughout their career, the band has been recognized with multiple awards, including several Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards, as well as other accolades for their ecological activism.
