1. A Moroccan female Pop/R&B/hip-hop vocalist, originally from Kalaat Sraghna, Manal grew up in Marrakesh where she studied business and finance. Having always wanted to be a musical artist, she posted covers on YouTube and was discovered by Hamza Ait Khali, the partner of Moroccan producer DJ Van.
After a short stint with DJ Van's label Magic Castle Entertainment and the release of her debut single Denia, which earned her the 'Best Female Artist in Northern Africa' award at the Africa Music Awards in 2015, she switched management to Tarik Azzougarh, better known as Cilvaringz, producer and conceptualizer of the world's most expensive musical work ever sold, Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon A Time in Shaolin.
Manal followed up her debut single with her song Koulchi Ban, the last song she would do with DJ Van. The release of Koulchi Ban received critical acclaim from fans and sparked the interest of Sony Music Middle East. In October 2017, Manal became one of the first Moroccan artists to sign to a major label in the Arab world.
In February 2018, Manal released her third single Taj (Crown). Due to its music video and a significant departure from Manal's signature sound, Taj started a buzz and garnered millions of views quickly. It is one of the most viewed Arabic rap songs performed by a female artist. After Taj, Manal released the song Nah featuring Moroccan rap duo Shayfeen and then had one of her biggest singles to date, Slay, in collaboration with ElGrandeToto.
In November 2019, Manal signed a distribution deal with RCA Records, a division of Sony Music France, through her record company Bench & Guess Entertainment.
Currently, she is under an exclusive license agreement with the same label, and under a music publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing.
Manal's current management team includes Anissa Jalab, former manager of Belgian rapper Damso, head of Wagram Belgium, and also manager of ElGrandeToto.
In May 2021, Manal released her first album entitled 360, which included the hit single Niya.
Deprived of the stage during the COVID-19 pandemic, she launched, with the help of her husband Moncef Guessous, a streetwear brand called Bari & Soch.
In November 2021, Manal earned the 'Best Female Artist in Northern Africa' award at the 2021 All Africa Music Awards for the second time in her career.
In May 2022, Manal performed "3ARI" for COLORS. In October 2022, she was chosen to feature in Light The Sky, a song for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, collaborating with artists, RedOne, Balqees, Rahma Riad and Nora Fatehi.
2. Manal was a blues band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Formed in 1968 by Javier Martínez (drums and vocals), Claudio Gabis (guitar) and Alejandro Medina (bass), the band is considered a fundamental pillar in the birth of Argentine rock.
Avenida Rivadavia
Manal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Avenida Rivadavia.
Caminamos una calle sin hablar,
Avenida Rivadavia.
Y pensé
y pensé
cuándo subiste a mi tren, mujer,
que yo no te ví,
que yo no te ví,
no te ví...
La mañana incoherente me sonrió,
una burla que volaba se escapó.
La mañana incoherente me sonrió,
una burla que volaba se escapó.
Y pensé
y pensé
cuándo subiste a mi tren, mujer,
que yo no te ví,
cuándo subiste a mi tren, mujer,
que yo no te ví,
que yo no te ví...
The song Avenida Rivadavia by Manal tells the story of two people walking down the street without talking. The street they are walking down is Avenida Rivadavia, a major street in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The singer is reflecting on a time when a woman got on the same train as him, but he didn't notice her. He is filled with regret as he thinks about this missed connection.
As the singer walks down the street, he describes the morning as "incoherent" and "smiling." It is as if the world around him is mocking him for missing the chance encounter with the mysterious woman. He continues to ponder when she got on the train and why he didn't see her. The repetition of "que yo no te vi" (that I didn't see you) emphasizes the singer's regret and frustration.
The song has a melancholic tone and the lyrics paint a picture of missed opportunities and regret. It is also a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the chance encounters that shape it.
