Maná, the celebrated Mexican rock band and, notably, the first Spanish-language group ever nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, is slated to hit the stage at the SAP Center in San Jose on December 5 and 6. These concerts are part of their "Vivir Sin Aire" tour, which was named after their iconic song. Starting in September with two opening shows in San Antonio, the tour will span North America, marking their stand in music history, as reported by The Mercury News.
According to Billboard, Maná will travel to over 30 North American cities on their tour, including unprecedented stops in Nashville, St. Louis, Baltimore, Montreal, and Detroit. The band continues breaking boundaries and bringing swathes of passionate fans to their feet. It's no small feat; with their four-night stint at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, they will surpass Bruce Springsteen's record by a hair for the most arena shows in the region, giving fans a chance to witness the new record-holders in action while experiencing the vibrancy of their live performances.
In commemoration and philanthropy, a portion of the tour proceeds will go towards establishing the "Latinas Luchonas" program, honoring vocalist Fher Olvera's late mother, Rosario Sierra, who raised him and his sisters single-handedly. The initiative aims to empower Latina women entrepreneurs through scholarships, mentorship, and leadership opportunities, further cementing the band's lasting impact beyond music.
Fans eager to catch Maná live can mark their calendars for Friday at 10 a.m. local time when tickets go on sale. The SAP Center confirmed this information via an Instagram post. Whether it's to take part in the history-making tour or to support a worthy cause, the band's far-reaching influence, on and off the stage, continues to resonate with audiences across North America.
