"Arde el Cielo"(The Sky is Burning) by Mana

Definition:
Spanish rock is a genre that has evolved over the years. It started in the late years of 1950's where the idea of Spanish rock aroused. It was not until the years of 1980's and 1990's where Spanish rock expanded worldwide. During that time young Mexican musicians were hosting a movement called "Rock en Tu Idioma" (Rock in your language) demanding for the right to make rock music in their native language. This movement was a great example for other musicians to make rock music worldwide. In appreciation to this movement, Spanish rock has expanded and is appreciated by many listeners today.

Description:
The album's title can be confusing. "Arde el Cielo"(The Sky is Burning) single track is about social issues that the world faces. Though the purpose of this album is not to reflect on the social issues. Mana's goal in this album was to recapitulate their old trending songs. They wanted to offer the audience the evolution of their musical career in this album. The album involves songs of their live performances, a cover song of a romantic Spanish song, and of course the album's title. This album's intention was to go back in time and delight with the band's greatest hits.

Informative: 
"Arde el Cielo"(The Sky is Burning) is one of Mana's best selling album. it was recorded during their tour in 2005, but was released on April 29, 2008.

The goal of this song is to get listeners to get into action and realize that the society that surrounds us has been manipulating, changing, and even destroying our lives and we haven't stoop up to fight back. With this it just leaves us listeners with the question of what are we doing to stop this?
