Maná, the legendary Mexican rock band, has been making music and inspiring generations for nearly 40 years. Even after four decades, the band continues to break new ground and achieve historic milestones.

Just last month, Maná became the first-ever Spanish-language rock band to be nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Later this year, they will embark on their Vivir Sin Aire Tour, bringing their signature sound to cities they have never performed in before, including Montreal, Canada.

Breaking Records and Making History

Maná’s tour is set to make history in Los Angeles. In November, when the band performs in the city, they will surpass Bruce Springsteen’s record for the most arena shows played in Los Angeles history. By the end of the tour, their total of 44 performances will outnumber Springsteen’s 42, cementing their status as one of the most influential Latin rock bands of all time.

Despite their continued success, Maná remains deeply connected to the struggles of the Latino community. In an interview with CNN, lead singer Fher Olvera emphasized that their upcoming tour carries a message of hope and resilience, particularly for immigrants facing uncertain times.

“Vivir Sin Aire is about coming and telling them, ‘We’re here, don’t be filled with fear,’” Olvera said. “These are murky times, but everything passes, and this is a moment that will pass.”

Drummer Alex González added that the band is committed to uplifting the Latino community, highlighting their essential contributions to the U.S. economy.

A Tour with a Purpose

The Vivir Sin Aire Tour will include 30 performances across 21 cities. But for Maná, the tour is about more than just music—it’s also about giving back.

A portion of ticket sales will support the Maná “Latinas Luchonas” program, a new initiative dedicated to empowering Latina women entrepreneurs through scholarships, mentorship, and leadership opportunities. The program was created in honor of Olvera’s late mother, reflecting the band’s commitment to uplifting their community.

The Power of Language and Identity

Throughout their career, Maná has proudly sung exclusively in Spanish, a decision they believe is both revolutionary and deeply personal.

“The act of singing in Spanish and only in Spanish is a revolutionary act,” Olvera explained. “We wanted to connect not only through the music but also through the ideas, the sensations, the Mexican spirit, the Latin spirit that can’t be separated from language. It’s inherent, it goes hand in hand.”

Guitarist Sergio Vallín recalled a powerful moment from a performance in Tel Aviv, where the crowd was singing along in Spanish. “We’re very proud to bring our roots everywhere we go,” he said.

A Multi-Generational Legacy

After nearly four decades, Maná’s music continues to resonate across generations.

“The kids who grew up when Maná started are now parents or even grandparents,” González said. “And so, the music, the truth, is passed down. It’s been incredible to see it continue from generation to generation.”

The Vivir Sin Aire Tour is set to run through April 2026, ensuring that Maná’s legacy continues to inspire audiences around the world. Meanwhile, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025—which could include Maná—will be announced in late April.
