Falta Amor (English: Love Is Missing) is the fourth studio album by Latin American Mexican rock band Maná, their second under the name Maná, and their first under the WEA Latina label. The album had sold almost 500,000 copies worldwide by 1993,[2] and following their 1994 breakthrough in the United States, Falta Amor had sold 186,000 copies in the country by 2011. Includes the well-known single Rayando El Sol.[3]

Falta Amor is also the last album featuring Ulises Calleros as guitarist, who would take over the reins of the band's management from that point on[4].

The success of this work came at a key moment for the band, as the members' morale had been declining after the poor reception of their previous releases, and even their vocalist, Fher Olvera, had begun to consider leaving the group.

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic stated that "Falta Amor is the Mexican pop/rock band's least noteworthy album by far – musically, at least – but it still has its moments".[1]
