Mexico City, Nov 3 (EFE)
Mexican band Maná will premiere a concert recorded at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado (United States) on YouTube on November 6, as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations, the streaming platform announced Tuesday in a statement.
The show, titled ‘Vivir Sin Aire Tour (Live from Red Rocks)’, will premiere at 6:30 p.m. local time in Mexico City (12:30 a.m. GMT on Saturday) and will be available for free on the band’s official YouTube channel. It will remain available on the platform after the broadcast ends.
The performance was recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, located in Morrison, Colorado, an open-air venue known for its natural rock formations and for having hosted concerts by artists such as Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.
For Maná’s lead singer, Fher Olvera, performing on this stage held special significance. He recalled living in Denver at the age of 21, working as a dishwasher, and dreaming of one day performing there.
“What will it feel like to play here?” the musician wondered, as he recounted in a mini-documentary released to coincide with the premiere.
Decades later, Olvera fulfilled that dream alongside the Mexican band, who performed some of their most popular songs during the concert, including “Rayando el sol,” “Clavado en un bar,” “Labios compartidos,” and “Oye mi amor.”
The release, a collaboration with YouTube and Warner Music, coincides with the celebrations of Maná’s four decades in the music industry, one of the most internationally renowned Mexican bands in Spanish-language rock.
The band, which recently won the Latin Pop Artist of the Year award in the Duo or Group category at the 2016 Billboard Latin Music Awards, continues its “Vivir Sin Aire Tour” across the United States and Latin America.
Among his upcoming performances are concerts in Bogotá, Lima, Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires, before concluding with two performances in Mexico City.
