Sueños Liquidos
: :With magnetic rhythms, cool grooves, and catchy hooks, the Mexican rock band Maná have conquered fans on both sides of the border. From the wickedly cool opener 'Hechicera' to the pulsating 'Un Lobo por Tu Amor,' the tunes are easy to get into, regardless of whether you know Spanish or not. There's plenty of fun, too, on the rollicking 'Tu Tienes Lo Que Quiero' and the zany 'Clavado en un Bar,' which became the tour anthem during the band's 1998 tour. Also bewitching are the ...

Ricky Martin: MTV Unplugged
: : By all indications, Ricky Martin's Unplugged opus should be an easy, effortless sell. The charismatic singer is in fine vocal form, backed by a tight band. He makes some interesting set list selections ('Gracias Por Pensar En Mi,' 'Asignatura Pendiente').

It gives Unplugged, then, the whiff of an artist grasping for old glories. Martin was ...

Mended
: :It's impossible to dislike Puerto Rican superstar Marc Anthony, even if his English-language material sits safely in pop's middle road. Mended, Anthony's follow-up to last year's sweltering salsa collection Libre, features the same midtempo grooves and emotive ballads that made his 1999 crossover effort a smash--and a textbook example of how record labels sometimes water down passionate Latino artists for U.S. audiences (see also Shakira). Nothing on Mended is particularly unlistenable or offensive, but there isn't much to get excited about either. The lilting pop ...
