LUNA EN GEMINIS

NEW MUSIC

The moon governs the emotions, the natives with Moon in Gemini tend to have a complex and restless nature, they are not satisfied with contemplating something from only one point of view. They have two seemingly contradictory sides that complement each other beautifully, such as Ying and Yang.

Astrologically, Manu Manzo's Moon is in Gemini, and in this new album she wishes to express that duality concept. Developing once again her usual youthful yet poetic writing, musically supported by a more misterious Side A and a nore pop Side B.

In this album Manu wanted to highlight women voices and presence throughout the entire project, so she worked in collaboration with female songwriters, producers, mix & master, and engineers. LISTEN NOW

She is currently back in the studio working in two upcoming projects LUNA EN GEMINIS II coming in may 2023 and her second album MANUELA due 2025.

Manu Manzo,  cantante, compositora y productora nominada al premio Latin GRAMMY®️ 2015 en la categoría Mejor Nueva Artista, sacude la música latina con un toque de alma a fuego lento, proyectando emociones con su voz en tempo de R&B.

Al crecer en Caracas, Venezuela, desarrolló un gusto musical diverso escuchando a diferentes artistas, como Ella Fitzgerald, Celia Cruz, Guaco, Alejandro Sanz entro otros. Tras mudarse a Miami a los once años sigue su interés por la música y su formación para luego continuar sus estudios en Boston en Berklee College of Music.

En 2015 lanza su primer EP independiente “Como Soy” por el cual fue nominada en la categoría de Mejor Nuevo Artista en los Latin GRAMMY®️ 2015.

En 2018 aumenta su impulso con el EP “Intermedio”, en el 2019 presenta su EP “Después de la 12”. En el 2019 representó a Venezuela en el programa de MIDEM, Francia, gracias a su éxito “Caminando”. En el 2020 representó a Venezuela en el festival de Viña Del Mar en Chile.
