Maná

pop rock · rock

Maná is a rock band from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, made up of vocalist and guitarist Fher Olvera, drummer Alex González, bassist Juan Diego Calleros and guitarist Sergio Vallín. The core of the group began playing together in the mid-1970s as Sombrero Verde, a covers-leaning band built around the Calleros brothers and Olvera, and took the name Maná in 1986; Vallín joined in the mid-1990s. Its self-titled debut appeared in 1987 and Falta Amor in 1990, but the breakthrough was ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? (1992), which sold more than ten million copies worldwide, was certified 12x Platinum (Latin) by the RIAA and stands as the best-selling Spanish-language rock album ever released. The band followed it with Cuando los Ángeles Lloran (1995), Sueños Líquidos (1997), Revolución de Amor (2002), Amar Es Combatir (2006), Drama y Luz (2011) and Cama Incendiada (2015), several of which topped the charts in Spain and Mexico and reached the U.S. top 20. Its 1999 MTV Unplugged set and the 2008 concert album Arde el Cielo are among the best-known live records in rock en español. Maná has sold more than 45 million records, won four Grammy Awards and eight Latin Grammy Awards, received the Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award and was named the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year in 2018. It was the first Spanish-language rock band to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in 2016, and in 2025 became the first Spanish-language rock group nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Environmental themes run through the catalog and into the band's work off the record: Olvera and González founded the Selva Negra Foundation in 1995 to fund conservation and social projects in Latin America. The band plays arenas and stadiums, often in multi-night residencies.
