¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? (English: Where Will the Children Play?) is the second and fifth overall studio album by Mexican rock band Maná, released in 1992. The album was produced by singer Fher Olvera, drummer Alex González and Jose Quintana, with recording and engineering done by Benny Faccone.
¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, the band's first top-ten entry. [2] Selling about 10 million copies worldwide, the album is the eighth best-selling Spanish-language album of all time and the best-selling Spanish-language rock album. [3] [4]
Music critic Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic rated the album four and a half stars out of five, stating, "the album is quite solid, maintaining a consistently strong standard of songwriting throughout, and the production is very professional, if perhaps a bit too glossy for those who like some grit in their music... it's one of those albums that warrants beginning-to-end listening, and it's had a lasting appeal over the years".
