Princess Diana

A 10 track folk-rock album (7m 30s) — released February 1st 2019 on Unique

Since the sudden and completely unnoticed appearance of their manifesto in 2016, the weird-folk songwriting duo The Mañana People took a vow to write 100 songs exploring the forking paths of the pop genre discourse.

Halfway through their struggle, whilst concocting a series of homemade freak-folk and psychcountry curiosities, their efforts were mercilessly interrupted by the cult German label Unique Records, which grabbed them by their ears and told them to grow up and make a proper record out of all that.

The result is their forthcoming debut "Princess Diana", a breath of fresh radioactive air in the world of authorial music.

The eccentric collection of tunes offers theremin-driven honky-tonk smashers, zombiethemed electro-pop ballads and horror spirituals, as well as a collaboration with the best troubadour himself, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. The Mañana People's first effort manages to swing harmoniously between the gutters of experimentation and the comfortable lightness of pop music.

Tim Weissinger and Alvaro Arango met on a winter evening in the green pastures of their University.

Their musical chemistry and the cold weather forced them to start making music together almost immediately.

Their debut EP "The Mañana People" was released online on Halloween night 2014. Their music was instantly praised by their friends, feared by their enemies and ignored by many others.

Since early 2015, and with the help of Tobi Mercer (keyboards) and Simon Mead (drums), The Mañana People have been spreading their word around, claiming new souls in every bar, café or street corner their songs have been heard.

After a second EP - "Horror Songs" - in 2016 it's time for a full-lenght and highly anticipated debut album in the beginning of 2019 out on Unique Records!
