MÅ“nia is a Mexican electronic/synthpop/ ambient group. Popular within the Latin club scene while simultaneously pioneering a darker, more experimental, more poetic side of Spanish-language electronica, MÅ“nia has had three top-20 hits.

MÅ“nia is also popular in other parts of Latin America, including the Argentinian and Chilean music markets, where they have also charted. Some of their most recognized singles include "Estabas AhÃ", "No Dices Más" and "Manto Estelar".

Morbo (band)
Morbo was a Mexican electronic/synthpop/ambient/alternative rock group formed by Juan Carlos Lozano. Lozano was one of the four founding members of MÅ“nia, which originally included Juan Carlos Lozano as lead guitarist on their failed 1992 debut album ''Moenia'', later on as lead vocalist on their official eponymous 1996 debut ''MÅ“nia'' and its 1998 companion remix album ''MÅ“nia Mixes''. Despite the acclaimed success at the time in a risky and previously-unnoticed novelty in the Mexican music industry, and due to disagreements between Lozano, Jorge Soto and Alejandro 'Midi' Ortega as to the creative route MÅ“nia should take, Lozano decided to leave MÅ“nia as vocalist with original founding member Alfonso Pichardo returning as lead singer. Lozano then formed the perhaps less commercial, still synth-oriented, but more guitar-centered Morbo, whose musical vision first came to fruition in 2001's eponymous ''Morbo''. The musical and lyrical vision of Morbo has continued to deepen and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
