 Most of their songs have a solid foundation of "WORLD BEAT" that have delve into other styles such as R & B, Zouk, Kompa, Rock n Roll, Pop, Reggea, Twoubadou and Salsa. With this unique, original style and versatality, this band will appeal to different types of markets within the industry.  .
This is the first time since an all female band of such power with different cultures has surfaced on the music scene. MANMZEL is the difference, with no apparent competition, they are ready to take the market by storm and  there are some concrete reasons for this statement:
First of all, these girls are supertalented musicians, meaning they actually  play instruments, they are all incredibly beautiful, personable, and  superdedicated to their craft. So, combining all of the above, it’s absolutely a no brainer that MANMZEL has a bright future. Their level  of commitment, motivation, and dedication is incredible.
Their first album " ON THE BEAT" was recently released.
 MANMZEL is not only a band but a female movement which will inspire other women to follow their aspiration in this male dominated industry.
"Never underestimate the power of a woman".
