Maná talks new tour and how Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination felt 'like a dream'
After nearly four decades of hits – including "Rayando el Sol," "Oye Mi Amor," "Mariposa Traicionera" and "Labios Compartidos" − Mexican rock band Maná is finally getting its due. In February, the Grammy-winning group − lead vocalist Fher Olvera, 65, drummer Alex González, 56, guitarist Sergio Vallín, 52, and bass player Juan Calleros, 62 − became the first Spanish language band nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. "Getting to this point in our career is like a dream," Olvera tells USA TODAY. "Truthfully, if you had told me a few years ago that this would happen, I wouldn't have believed it." This year's nominees also include music icons Mariah Carey, Billy Idol, Oasis and Cyndi Lauper. Since Mana's beginnings in 1986 − the same year the first class of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees made their mark (Elvis Presley, James Brown, Little Richard, to name a few) − the band has released 11 albums, including their 1992 album "¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?" which became the best selling Spanish language rock album of all time.

González, who also serves as songwriter for Maná, says he's thankful to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame committee because "it's the first time since it was established that they've nominated a band singing solely in Spanish. "For them to look our way and say, look at the musical impact this band has had in the United States, but also the social impact of the things they've done and the multigenerational reach we've had, is an honor," he adds. Whether the band is inducted or not, "The fact that they took us into account and nominated us opens a huge door for other artists in the future, not just Maná." Maná on their humble beginning, breaking new records with arena tour Maná is also looking to break records with their new tour. The rockers will embark on a 30-date North American Vivir Ain Aire tour (named after their iconic 1992 song) this fall, kicking off with back-to-back September dates in San Antonio, Texas. "It's about time we get back to the States and feel the excitement of our fans," Olvera says. "Music serves as a way for us to heal and Maná, as a band, embodies that virtue." In November, Maná will also return to Los Angeles' Kia Forum for four shows and is slated to break the record for most arena shows performed in the city's history with a total of 44 concerts. The title is held by Bruce Springsteen at 42 shows. "It's impressive that we've been compared to the great musicians and artists who have performed hundreds of concerts in the United States and who are very beloved," Calleros says. Olvera adds: "It's incredible, but on the other hand, it's all thanks to the fans because Los Angeles is our second home. That's where Maná's career in the United States began, and the fans are part of this achievement." The vocalist recalled one of the first shows they played in Los Angeles in a small Sunset Boulevard venue. "I think there were around 500 people," Olvera says, adding their fanbase grew by word of mouth from fans. On their Vivir Sin Aire tour, Maná will visit cities including Nashville, St. Louis, Baltimore, Montreal and Detroit for the first time. Vallín says it is a testament to the growing Latino community and "we're very excited that our music keeps reaching new fans and new places." The band will tour through spring 2026 with North Carolina as its final stop. Maná's tour to 'celebrate how incredible the Latino community is' Known for their evocative lyricism and high-energy shows, Maná goes beyond the music by highlighting environmental, social, political and human rights issues. "Maná was formed in 1986, so you can only imagine how many things we've seen socially and politically not only in our beloved Mexico but also in Latin America, Spain and the US," says González. "We've been a band that's held the Latino community close, as well as our Mexican people and all of our Latino brothers and sisters." In 2018, when they became the first group to receive the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year award, they used their acceptance speech to promote a message of unity and justice during Donald Trump's first presidency. New tour alert: Will Smith to hit the road on summer tour to promote new album Now, in 2025, amid a second Trump presidency, Maná is still using its platform to support the Latino community by creating a space with their shows where fans can drown out the political noise and let loose. "It's not the first time there have been problems in the US with different social issues," says González. "So we're simply going to celebrate how incredible the Latino community is, the contributions the Latino community has made and the weight we hold as a group of people." But, ultimately, "let it be a great party."
