Dónde Jugarán Los Niños

Dónde Jugarán Los Niños

All of my previous posts have been around different songs that I know or have found. This past Thanksgiving break I went to a Maná concert. 

Maná is an 1980's Latin American rock band from Mexico. They come from Guadalajara, Jalisco and are considered one of the most successful Latin American band. They are composed of lead vocalist, Fher Olvera, drummer Alex González, guitarist Sergio Vallín and Juan Calleros. 

The concert was absolutely amazing and I was very impressed with the performances. The main singer Fher Olvera wore a variety of protest shirts.

At one point during the concert Olvera spoke out about the climate crisis with a video praising Greta Thunberg and all her work. This was right before they played the song, "Dónde Jugarán Los Niños", which translates to "Where Would the Children Play". 

The videos below are from the concert, from the performance of "Dónde Jugarán Los Niños"

In this video you can see the giant elephant in the back. It was calling attention to the mass extinction that elephants are currently enduring. The stage is covered in red lights to resemble a fire to call attention to the fires in Australia and the Amazon. You can see the Olvera holding a fire extinguisher. 

This second video is from the same performance but in this one you can see each of the members wearing a different animal mask which represents different animals in danger of extinction.
