Ana José Nacho


Ana José Nacho is a compilation album by the group Mecano. It was released in 1998, and was produced by the group itself. There are two editions: Spain and France. It includes 8 new songs by the brothers Cano: José and Nacho; these tracks were recorded in CTS Studios and Belsize Park in London; and Red Led and Eurosonic in Madrid.

Spain edition

This edition was presented in 2 CDs. The Spanish release includes eight new songs, six of which were culled out from the group's previous work, the album Aidalai; the other two are new versions of their successful song "Aire" and the song named "El club de los humildes".
The other six "new" songs are "Cuerpo y corazón" that talks about the world of prostitution; "Otro muerto" that shows different interpretations around the theme of death and terrorism; "Stereosexual", a story about a man questioning his sexuality, "El mundo futuro" exhibits a concern for a life and feelings increasingly material and superficial; "Esto no es una canción" tells a tragic story about how drug addiction is destroying the life of a man; and "Los piratas del amor" tells the experiences of men who are promiscuous and womanizers. An altered version of this song entitled "Canción de los piratas" was released as a single; this altered version featured child-friendly lyrics and was written for Telecinco's "Club Disney" container program.
The sleeve was designed by Ian Ross for Bill Smith Studio. Photography by David Scheinmann.
