Bio : Maná

Formed in 1986 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, MANÁ brought Spanish-language rock to the mainstream, blending classic rock, reggae, and pop with Latin rhythms. With 11 albums and over 45 million copies sold, MANÁ has set the standard for Latin rock.

Their groundbreaking album Dónde Jugarán los Niños is the best-selling Latin rock album of all time. For nearly 40 years, the band’s tireless passion for live performances has taken them to over 30 countries, leaving behind a trail of unforgettable, history-making moments.

MANÁ holds numerous industry records, including being the first Latin band/artist nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025. They are also the best-selling Latin group of all time. They were the first group of any genre to sell out 13 shows at the Staples Center, and the first artist of any genre or language to hold an arena residency in the city of Los Angeles. To date, they have performed 16 sold-out shows for more than 220,000 fans. This November, the band will make a highly anticipated return to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles for four more nights, extending their historic residency. With these shows, MANÁ will reach a total of 44 performances in L.A. arenas, surpassing Bruce Springsteen's record (42) and becoming the artist with the most arena shows in Los Angeles history.

In 2024, they made history with their first sold-out show at the OVO Wembley Arena in London. That same year, MANÁ became the only Latin band to headline the BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley, California. Their most recent tour, México Lindo y Querido, spanned 14 countries, selling out over 100 concerts and drawing more than 1.8 million fans.

The band also holds the record for the most entries by a Latin rock group on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (33 entries) and Latin Airplay chart (36 entries). Seven of their albums have reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin charts, solidifying their status as the Latin rock band with the most chart-topping albums.

Their monumental impact has been recognized with prestigious honors including 4 GRAMMY Awards, 9 Latin GRAMMYs, including the Latin Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award. MANÁ was also named Latin GRAMMY Person of the Year and honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

MANÁ’s influence goes beyond music. For 30 years, the Selva Negra Ecological Foundation has been their social arm, combining environmental conservation and rescue with social development. Selva Negra is one of the most impactful charitable initiatives by a Latin music group.

MANÁ donates a percentage of their tour profits to local NGOs in each country they visit, supporting the most vulnerable communities. Throughout their career, they have raised awareness about environmental, social, political, and human rights issues worldwide, amplifying their impact far beyond the stage.
