Mr. Olvera, singer of the Mexican groupManna, said that he doesn't like reggaeton and one of the artists he can't stand the least is Bad Bunny.
The singer offered an interview toBillboard where he tells anecdotes about the creation of the songs that identify the Mexican band, and commented on some very intimate aspects about how he enjoys art and contemporary music.
Regarding reggaeton, he said that the lyrics of some songs seem violent, repetitive, empty and simple.
"Sometimes evenwith a certain lack of respect for women. That's my feeling. I think you are running out of literary resources if you resort to that type of lyrics to be able to release your song. I respect the genre, but the lyrics don't attract me," Fher said.
He was incredulous about what will happen to urban music in the future, but warned that he does not believe it will last over time because he considers that "they do not have much literary wealth."
"Musical taste is up to each person. (...) The one who absolutely cannot listen to it isBad Bunny. I respect him because he has reached places where no one among Latinos has reached. That has merit, but that doesn't mean I'm going to have to like it. That's great for everyone, but we need to change that trend. Imagine if you are going to write a letter to a girl, well you are not going to put all those atrocities. Where was the romantic part?" asked the Mexican artist.
Manna debuted on the Billboard in January 1994, with the rock album in Spanish,Where will the children play.
The author of "Living without air" and "How I wish you" recalled that after eight yearsManna returns to the stages of Latin America with the"Mexico Lindo y Querido" tour.
The band will play 16 different dates. They will visit cities like Asunción, Buenos Aires and great events like the Viña del Mar Festival in Chile.
About new musicManna, Fher pointed out that from the beginning the band agreed to release the albums only when they had a solid proposal.
They don't make an album per year and that, he acknowledged, is "less difficult", but the four members defend the same philosophy, the quality of their work will always be above quantity.
In the singer's opinion there are two aspects that have allowed himManna always move forward: keep its members united, "like brothers"; and to be far from the "claws of drugs, alcohol, ego, which take its toll on many artists, because people can't handle so much applause on just one pair of shoulders."
