"It's a moment where people open their ears as we did when we were kids and listened to the Rolling Stones and the Eagles."

The Mexican Rock en Espanol band Mana may be the most unfamiliar name on this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot, but it's a group with a rich -- and continuing -- legacy of music and good works.

The band is one of the most successful in Spanish. But, many wonder if it deserves that place of honor or if Café Tacuba or Soda Stereo would have been better.

The Mexican rock band is the most popular and influential Latin rock band of all time, according to the Rock Hall, which celebrates the history of rock music.

The iconic Mexican rock act is the first Spanish-language band to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has just unveiled its highly anticipated 2025 list of nominees for consideration. This star-studded lineup includes Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Mariah Carey,

Joan Baez, whose father was born in Mexico, was inducted in 2017. She released one Spanish-language album, "Gracias a la Vida" in 1974. Rage Against the Machine, inducted in 2023, is by no means considered a Latin act, but frontman Zack de la Rocha's parents are Mexican-American.

The late R&B singer was the original frontman of The Impressions, a musical group that he co-founded with Curtis Mayfield.
