Four decades into their journey as a band, Maná is still enjoying many firsts. Last month, they became the first ever Spanish-language rock band to be nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. In September, they will kick off their Vivir Sin Aire Tour, which will take them to cities they’ve never played before, like Montreal, Canada. In November, when they make their tour stops in Los Angeles, they will break a record currently held by Bruce Springsteen for most arena shows performed in Los Angeles history. (Their total of 44 will best Sprinsteen’s 42.) The Guadalajara-born band is well aware that this incredible success comes at a time of strife for the Latino community and migrants, amid constant news of immigration enforcement operations. Fher Olvera, the band’s lead vocalist, told CNN in a recent interview that a message of faith and hope is baked into the essense of the upcoming tour.
