First, congratulations on the Nomination to the Rock & Roll Fame. How does it feel to be the first Spanish act to be nominated?
Alex González: For us, it is something unimaginable. When the news told us, they all surprised us. First, we thank the committee of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for looking towards our culture, taking into account that we are the first Spanish rock-pop band to be nominated.
The nomination also demonstrates Maná's trajectory in the United States, so we take this recognition and share it with our Latin community that has always supported us since we began playing in the United States in 1993 when we went to Los Angeles.
With this new tour, you are breaking a new Los Angeles album with most sand shows. How do you feel to listen to that?
Sergio Vallín: Los Angeles has always been a city that we have been on tour for many years. There will be 44 concerts in some of the most important places, including the KIA forum. For us, it is always a pleasure to play in Los Angeles. The Latin community is great and you can feel warmth.
Do these milestones once wake you up?
Fher Olvera: In Maná's story, it has never been to reach a certain point, but to enjoy the process.
As this new tour comes, it is important for us to change the production aspects. That is the type of process I am talking about. It is that transformation from one moment to another with a new tour, with a new sensation, and including a new atmosphere for Latinos for better or worse, there have been a series of problems. [in the community]. But the music heals. So this new trajectory has made everyone happy. And if we are induced [in the Hall of Fame]It will be great. If not, it will continue well, I am telling you from the bottom of my heart.
For us, the most important thing is that we continue to enjoy concerts, the crowd singing, how people forget everything that surrounds them and immerse themselves in this Maná environment. It is right, allows us. Truly, Latinos empower us, Los Angeles empowers us.
What is happening at this time, political and socially is historical. We should not be afraid. We have to keep fighting. Latinos are necessary for the American community. Without Latinos and its work power, this country will be paralyzed. And Maná has always maintained a band of unity, hope and not yielding.
What would it mean to be included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the light of President Trump? anti -immigrant policies?
González: Well, the problem here is that there is a racial profile component. Yeah they See you as a certain skin tone, whether an American citizen or not, they Come for you. That should not exist. As Fher said, that is Maná's message.
The nomination to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a message that Latinos are an important force in the United States and working people. We have always tried to contribute something to the Latin community, putting our grain of sand, either in regards to our scholarship, our support for the dreamers and agricultural workers. As Fher said, it is important that the world contributes to something to a better society wherever he lives.
Then I believe [the nomination] It is a message that after the storm, the sun always comes out.
A percentage of ticket sale will go to a new programming, “Latin Luchonas”. Fher, tell me more about that new initiative and why it is so important for you.
Olvera: It was an idea that the band had to honor my mother, Rosario (who rests in peace), who was a widow from an early age and did everything possible to keep her family. It comes from that concept that there are many single mothers who are widows or that they could not have the resources to keep themselves. “Latinas Luchonas” will help to give scholarships to women entrepreneurs who want to build their businesses. There will be training, financial assistance.
For me, it is incredible because it is damn, women have to separate in three to survive in a sexist society. We are seeing the tip of an iceberg of women who contribute greatly.
There are Many acts that do not use their platform to talk about social issues. What is your opinion of that?
Vallín: I think everyone is free to use their platforms as they want, but it would be better if those who have that ability to reach people do it with a good and positive message. It could be good things related to health, music, human rights. A positive message is always welcome. Everyone can use their platform for whatever they want, but I think it is important to disseminate truth, justice, human rights and values.
