Está de Moda
1996 studio album by Grupo Mania
Está de Moda (In Style) is the fourth studio album by Puerto Rican merengue band Grupo Manía released on December 10, 1996. It topped the Billboard Tropical Albums. The album contains the lead single "Linda Eh", written by Elvis Crespo, which topped the Tropical Airplay chart where it spent four weeks on this position. The track won a BMI Latin Award in 1998. Two other singles from the album, "A Que Te Pego Mi Mania" and "Deja Que la Gente Diga" became a top-ten hit on the Tropical Airplay chart. This would be the final album before Crespo left the group to launch his own solo career.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Está de Moda” as 1996 studio album by Grupo Mania. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1996 studio album by Grupo Mania. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108795367. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 1998.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
