In a press conference offered in advance of their return scheduled for Tuesday, February 27 on the stage of the Viña del Mar International Festival, on the coast of Chile, the band’s leader, Fher Olvera explained that the Madrid artist Alejandro Sanz will perform the band’s legendary song Live without air.
“Naturally there is an album that is going to come out this year, called Canteen Nightswhich are duets, that the band has been releasing very slowly, little by little with Latin friends, who also like Maná songs and we make versions more like the Mexican one and it is nice to hear other colleagues singing Maná songs “he explained.
“The last one who was recording, we can say it like that, is Alejandro Sanz, with us too, Live without air. And there are a lot that you have already heard from Christian Nodal,” he added.
The group also announced that it will donate a portion of the proceeds from its concerts in Chile to the victims of the deadly fires that at the beginning of the month claimed the lives of 133 people and destroyed thousands of houses and hectares of forest in the Valparaíso region. , and particularly in Viña del Mar itself.
“We have always had so much empathy with Chile, for many years, and when we received the news of the fires, we were very sad. We felt heartbroken. We immediately reacted to be able to donate a part of the profits,” explained its vocalist, Fher.

The singer took the opportunity to bring out the most committed part of the band, denounce the climate crisis, and encourage everyone to defend the planet.
“It’s as if the earth had a fever, you start to get a fever when your body temperature rises and you start to have various reactions. On the one hand, I am optimistic that we are going to get out of this. And why are we going to get out of this? to get out? Because when the water reaches our nose, then we start kicking. This wanting to get out is basically changing the way we are moving the world, to stop burning oil,” he stated.
“The second thing is that we come with a new generation that is realizing it and that does not want to inherit that from us, that we were incapable of changing it. The truth is that we have been incapable, we are in that sense, we are all losers because we have not done nothing for our future generations to take over a planet,” he said.
Musically, the Mexicans announced a very powerful concert, with all the decibels of rock, a show of more than two hours of raspy and melodic guitar, especially in their presentation in Santiago de Chile, since the Viña del Mar festival limits the concert time to 70 minutes.
“The important thing is that we are here, it is our fifth time, we love this festival. We said that one day we have to be here, imagine, it is already the fifth time and we are very grateful to Chile,” he added.

They also apologized for not having been able to perform in 2023, as planned, and insisted that it was due to Fher’s knee problems, and not to political issues – such as his claim for a piece of the sea for Bolivia – as some media reported. .
The band also referred to the other project they have in mind, their new studio album, which has been expected for more than nine years, and on which they say they are already working.
“The good thing is that a new studio album is coming… we are not in a rush to do it because we still have a very big tour to do, but there is the desire to compose again, to go into the studio, there are many, many themes, also many things have happened in the world that we can put the lyrics in,” said Alex González, Maná’s drummer.
In this sense, they expressed their happiness for having managed to be a transgenerational band, which unites parents and children around their music, even live, and criticized that violence has entered the lyrics of some musicians since “if Yes, Latin America has many problems with violence, I believe that we should not put more fire on what is already lit, right?”
“I believe that there are many things that can be talked about, but continue talking about more violence and more violence. I believe that we have to change it and turn it around and talk about more positive things, try to minimize violence, minimize crime, minimizing poverty, putting more music and sports programs,” he concluded.
