Maná: Clavado en Un Bar

Maná: Clavado en Un Bar

Author: My Cultura and Sonoro August 28, 2024 Duration: 21:52

In the early 90's, Maná became the most talked-about rock band in Mexico, even gaining traction outside their homeland. And like any good rock band riding the waves of success, there was drama! From members leaving in the middle of a tour, to love affairs with royalty, and hit song after hit song, Maná was set for life. Come with us as we uncover their journey to becoming one of the biggest bands in the Spanish-speaking world.
