Costa Negra - Tania Libertad

Advantages: Good rock 'n' roll rhythms with some nice more alternative moments
Disadvantages: Cant get you out of my head. The mix could be dirtier

...recently pass away and was probably a sore spot for him but his lyrics in for a brother really hit home, his other personal experience of prison, shown in the last fight, really dont hit home but i feel that is mainly because of the rhythm of the song rather than the lyrical content. American man again the verses are very well written but the chorus is really boring.

...Not one single review on La Mano Negra... how come foreign mythic bands like this, just aren't diffused in the UK? Let me know if I'm wrong. Do you know this group?
