After four decades as a band, Maná continues to achieve historic milestones.

Last month, they became the first Spanish-language rock band to receive a nomination for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

This September, they will embark on their Vivir Sin Aire Tour, visiting cities they’ve never performed in before, including Montreal, Canada.

In November, their Los Angeles tour stops will set a new record, surpassing Bruce Springsteen’s for the most arena concerts performed in the city’s history. By the end of their run, they will have played 44 shows, exceeding Springsteen’s 42.

The Guadalajara-born group recognizes that their remarkable success comes at a time of uncertainty for the Latino and immigrant communities, amidst ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.

Lead vocalist Fher Olvera shared in a recent interview that their upcoming tour carries a message of hope and resilience.

“Vivir Sin Aire is about showing up and reminding people, ‘We are here—don’t let fear consume you,’” Olvera said. “These are difficult times, but all things pass, and this will too.”

Drummer Alex González added that the band seeks to emphasize the vital role of the Latino community in the U.S., particularly its significance to the nation’s economy.

The Vivir Sin Aire Tour will feature 30 performances across 21 cities. A portion of ticket sales will contribute to the Latinas Luchonas program, launched in honor of Olvera’s late mother. The initiative aims to support Latina entrepreneurs through scholarships, mentorship, and leadership development.

Giving back has always been a priority for Maná, who credit their long-standing success to staying true to their roots.

“Singing in Spanish, and only in Spanish, is a revolutionary act,” Olvera said. “We did it not just to share our music, but to express our culture, our emotions, and our Latin identity. Language is inseparable from those things—it’s a part of who we are. And over time, people have embraced it.”

Guitarist Sergio Vallín recalled performing in Tel Aviv and witnessing an audience singing along in Spanish.

“We take great pride in bringing our roots with us wherever we go,” he said.

Today, those roots span generations.

“The kids who grew up with Maná are now parents, even grandparents. Our music and our message have been passed down,” González said. “It’s amazing to see it carried forward from one generation to the next.”

The Vivir Sin Aire Tour will run through April 2026. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025 will be announced in late April.
