Maná

Mexican rockers say, “To Love Is to Fight”

By Melissa Richter

Published on August 30, 2007

Rock band Maná is often described as Mexico’s U2, for the instantly recognizable sound they’ve crafted throughout a career spanning two decades. They produce powerful rock ballads with solid melodies and captivating lyrics, sung by the unique voice of lead singer Fher. The original foursome from Guadalajara, Mexico has managed to harness their inner mana (Polynesian for “positive energy”) and create a thriving career, winning multiple Grammys and Billboard Music Awards along the way. On this world tour (and they truly are a world band), “Amar Es Combatir 2007,” expect Maná to remain true to their roots and proudly reject all fashions and trends.
