Recognizing the band’s deep connection to Los Angeles,a permanent wall installation now adorns the backstage area of the Kia Forum,proclaiming “Mana – Kings of L.A.” Maná’s history with the city includes over 30 shows at the Forum and an remarkable run of 11 consecutive sold-out concerts at Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) in 2012, supporting their album Drama Y Luz.

Speaking with The Times prior to their November 21st Forum show, lead singer Fher Olvera reflected on the band’s relationship with Los Angeles. “L.A.has always been very influential for us… and we’ve seen the city evolve,” he said.
Olvera also addressed the band’s message to their Latino fans amidst ongoing political challenges.”Right now our message [to our Latino fans] is to have faith, do not despair… Like the Buddhists say, ‘Everything shall pass.’ And these problems will also pass and thankfully it won’t take too long [as] presidential terms don’t last so long – even though this term has felt like five minutes underwater,” he added.
