<link>http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Hip-Hop/The-Missing-Element-Master-MC.71946</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>The Latin Hip-Hop album The Missing Element, is destined to break grounds like the industry has never seen! </p>
 
 <p>This debut album of Misael Rosado Rivera AKA Master MC is a stereo thumping, club bumping masterpiece in the making.</p>
 
 <p>This CD surpasses your average Reggaeton compilation in more ways than one. Instead of lyrics Master MC gives you stories; instead of recycled beats, with this CD you get unique mixes with a distinct sound, vibe and pace. And lastly instead of your average retail album, you get a refined work of art that any CD collection would be lost without.</p>
 
 <p>Master MC has raw talent and a trigger finger for writing that cannot be denied. </p>
 
 <p>A native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, MC has been spitting rhymes and mixing beats since he was a child. He prides himself in being a bilingual lyricist, rapper and producer; a skill that is rare in the industry.</p>
 
 <p>Drawing inspiration from his personal life experiences; his heart, soul and love for music shines through in every verse of every track of this highly anticipated album.</p>
 
 <p>The Missing Element also features a range of producers, some of which include; Skalante, Renovales, Kino Digital, The Missing Link, O'Neil Da HitMan and Master MC himself. The tracks Estoy Caliente and Story of My Life are addictive and definitely have the makings to be surefire hits.</p>
 
 <p>Master MC has participated in a number of projects, compilations and appearances. Most notably, he participated in two compilations- Lowrider Super Show 2002 and the Lowrider Legends Tour 2003; both of these were for the music label Thump Records, which was distributed by Universal.</p>
 
 <p> In 2006, he signed a ringtone deal with the company The Nickels Group, Inc.</p>
 
 <p>MC is also credited for performing on the show Pegate Al Corillo -a television show based in Puerto Rico.  His songs have been played by DJ Felipe Duran on Mix 107.7 FM and on the House radio station Galaxia 1380 AM by DJ Sixto One.</p>
 
 
 <p>Currently, MC is back in the studio working on tracks for his sophomore album, due out sometime next year. Master MC is a man on a mission. His ultimate goal is to expand his music across the globe. He also hopes to eventually crossover to English Hip-Hop and make his mark there.	</p>
 
 <p>Samples of this album, as well as purchasing information, can be found at <a target="_blank" href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/smash2">this website</a>.  </p>

<p> Just like any element; Master MC is a phenomenon with a fundamental nature that can't be broken down into a simpler substance by any means</p>

<title>Mana</title>
<link>http://www.musicouch.com/Genres/Latin/Mana.71735</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Rock Music is one of the most popular music around the world. Due to its popularity other cultures get influence from this musical genre. Rock en Espanol (Rock in Spanish) is one of them. This musical genre is still young but is quite popular in the Spanish speaking America.</p>

<p>Some of the best bands of Rock en Espanol come from Argentina and Mexico. But is in Mexico where the band known as Mana was born. Mana started playing around the 80s, during those years there was a lot of competence in the market. </p>

<p>Artists like Heroes del silencio, Mano Negra, Caifanes, where some of the bands performing at the time, but when Mana was launched there was little room for other bands to bright. So Mana became the most popular band. Since then Mana‘s music has changed very little, but is still one of the best bands of the genre.</p>

<p>Mana‘s music is a combination of Classic Rock and other rhythms like: Reggae, Bolero, Alternative Rock, and even a little bit of Bachata. Mana‘s lyrics are very poetic, they talk about love stories, the Mexican culture, angels, and more… </p>

<p>Mana ‘s drum beat resemble the drum beat of the North American band  called The Police, but there is no connection in between them, is just coincidence. Mana recently launched a new song that reflects influence of Bachata. </p>

<p>Is it possible that Mana is trying to play a role in the world of Bachata? Or they are just making something different? That I don‘t know. The only thing that I can say is that Mana is still as popular as it was during the 80s and that is something difficult for any band to accomplish. When it comes to music, Mana‘s music is very well composed, rich in lyrics, voices and music. </p>

<p>If you like to listen to nice music, I recommend Mana. </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FGenres%2FLatin%2FMana.71735"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FGenres%2FLatin%2FMana.71735" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
