Maná: Oye Mi Amor

Today we are kicking off the journey of one of the biggest bands to come out of Mexico’s rock scene of the 70s and 80s: Maná. It all started with a cover band called Sombrero Verde, who played the biggest English hits by bands like The Police, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. In the midst of a countercultural movement and government restrictions, their talent prevailed, and these rockstars began their rise to international success.
