On 2nd September Billboards and Telemundo announced that Maná will be honoured with the icon award at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
The Mexican rock band that has topped charts and won Grammys will be recognized for “having carved out a career that has not only remained relevant through time but has also made them the most distinguished band in their genre, celebrated globally for achieving both musical and commercial success.”
Comprised of Fher Olvera, Alex González, Sergio Vallín and Juan Calleros, Maná will be honored during the awards ceremony set to take place Sept. 23 live on Telemundo. Maná will also deliver an exclusive performance of their new single, a remake of the classic “El Reloj Cucú” featuring 12-year-old vocalist Mabel, during the awards show.
