Yeah it's going to be a great CD!
Yes in 2006 on their (Latin Grammy Award winning) "Nuevamente" CD, they rerecorded several songs. The following is the track listing:
Quiero Amanecer Contigo
Si Quiere Dios
Mi Loca Pasion
Yo Se Que Te Iras
Tu Tu y Solo Tu
Nuestra Cancion
Para El Pueblo
Soy Tuyo
De Norte A Sur
Estas Tocando Fuego
Que Hare Yo
Nadie Como Tu
Quiero, Quiero
Arrancame El Corazon
Me Estoy Volviendo Loco
Mandame Un E-Mail
This album released in their 26th year is like an anthology of the first 25 years of their career, including songs going all the way back to the early 80s up through the (Latin Grammy Award winning ) "Para el Pueblo" CD .
The reason that the earlier songs had to be rerecorded is because the original catalogs are owned by different labels (like EMI, Sony, Urbana etc), and could not be combined in a compilation album . Mando went to extraordinary lengths to make sure that the older songs (many of which are out of print) sounded as close as possible to the originals, by finding the original music and the original arrangements. In the case of some of the 80s songs, which were recorded with a type of synthisizer no longer made (called a mini Moog), he looked high and low , and couldn't find any anywhere, so he had some kind of computer chip or something like that designed to recreate that sound. About the only noticible difference on the new recordings is that Oscar's mature voice sounds better than ever, for example, the original version of "Si Quiere Dios" from the 1989 "Xplosive" album sounds great, but oh man in the newer version, Oscar really wails it out and it sounds almost like it does when he does it live.
Those songs from the "Nuevamente" CD are available on Itunes under a CD title of "The Greatest" (The original CD was released by Univision through Mando's Urbana label, which means Mando mantains the CATALOG to the songs, so I guess he had to use a different album name on Itunes). Also there is a song that Oscar recorded with Los palominos as a dedication to our troops called "Me Voy a La Guerra" on there.

Wow, I just figured the reason for bringing those songs back was just for good ol' times sake... in a sense it does feel that way. but the info and detial you just went into explaning is also pretty interesting. I remember watching Mando on his kyboard on a old Johnny Canales show segment, and his keys had knobs and levers.. I just googled to make sure, and it does sound like the mini moog. I recognize a lot of those songs too... I thought they were the originals so I didnt pay too much mind to that album. but thanks for clearing that up, those were some of thier really good hits back in the day.
"Si quiere Dios" newer version sounds a lot better then the original. I heard it on thier myspace.
Thanks for the heads up on thier new music!

That's what a lot of people thought, and that was part of it, a lot of fans whose old cassettes and LPs were worn out , or had lost their original CDs had been asking La Mafia to put out the old material, not realizing that the only way they could do that would be to completely re record it, so part of the reason was to give those fans what they were asking for, another reason was to introduce the older "Puro Tejano" music to the newer generations, as many of La Mafia's fans came on board in the 90s and weren't familiar with it, especially those in Mexico. I've seen quite a few Mafia fans clamoring for more of their older stuff after hearing that album, they are emailing each other MP3s (yeah I know it's not exactly legal) of some of the older out of print stuff . I talked to one Tejana who is 25 who told me that she absolutely loved the song "SoyTuyo" and and never heard it until they re recorded it.
Yeah, I wish the radio stations would play the newer version of "Si Quiere Dios" because it is awesome, and also so that Mando would get more of the royalties (other than the ones he gets as artist and producer) instead of EMI Latin LOL
