Sergio Vallin

There's no better place for a rockstar than surrounded by ladies. Sergio Vallin knows it, and he (probably wisely) stays away from the mic, letting the ladies do the crooning on his first solo outing. It's an impressive harem, including everybody from Ely Guerra and Joy (of Jesse and Joy) to Ana Torroja and Paulina Rubio. As lead guitarist for Mana, Vallin's been responsible for some of Mexico's most comfy adult rock, and Bendito doesn't disappoint in that regard, brushed with flamenco and polished to a high -- but not unpleasant -- sheen.
