Chayanne returns to Texas with her Bailemos Otra Vez tour

Maná once again demonstrated why it is one of the most beloved bands in Mexico. This Wednesday, he offered a free concert at the Glorieta de La Minerva, in Guadalajara, which brought together 170 thousand people.

The return to his hometown occurred just after his participation in the opening of the 2026 Soccer World Cup. The call exceeded any expectations. The band itself confirmed the historic figure through its social networks.

Fher Olvera, the group’s vocalist, was especially emotional. He greeted his countrymen with affection and described the show as a dream come true.

“What a thrill to be here in our city, where we are from, where we come from, where we grew up, where we started to put it together… this is a dream that we are fulfilling in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.”

Before starting, he was grateful that it was not raining, which allowed the event to go off without a hitch. He asked the public to leave their problems behind and enjoy the night.

“Thank heaven that we don’t have water on us, that we have life, that we have health and that we can sing, dance; tonight, let go of all the problems, leave them outside.”

The repertoire included classics such as “Oye mi amor”, “Vivir sin aire”, “Hopefully it rains coffee”, “El rey”, “Mariposa treicionera”, “Me vale” and “Eres mi religion”. The concert ended after midnight on Thursday.

Maná will continue its “Vivir sin Aire Tour” with dates in Argentina. On December 17 they will perform in Mexico City, at the GNP Seguros Stadium.

Mariana Ochoa clarified rumors about an alleged fine from FIFA for her song Put on your hat, released on the occasion of the 2026 World Cup.

The former OV7 member assured that she has not received any notification from the organization. At a press conference, he pointed out that everything started from media speculation.

“It was a rumor. Some media speculated that there could be a fine and no. The song does not use any of the prohibited words, so there is no risk of any fine. There has been no warning, nothing,” he declared.

Precautions from the beginning

Ochoa explained that his team took measures to avoid legal problems. They reviewed the list of restricted terms by FIFA before composing.

“We already sat down with a list of words that cannot be used and we made it with that. No prohibited words are used,” he added.

The singer also clarified that FIFA’s restrictions focus on commercial and advertising uses, not artistic expressions. Regarding the use of the word “worldwide,” which some pointed out as a possible infringement, Ochoa insisted that it is a generic term.

“There was speculation about the word world, but that is a generic word. Obviously we are all referring to football, but none of the prohibited words are used,” he concluded.

In this way, the artist rules out any sanction and ensures that her song can be disseminated without problem.

Julieta Venegas performed at the National Auditorium in Mexico City with a musical journey through her career. The big absentee of the night was La Niña Futbolista, a song that the singer left out of the repertoire after its cold reception in previous presentations.

A setting that simulates a home

The Tijuana native opted for a different scenic proposal: a kind of pyramid with visual postcards. At the top, a living room with hanging clothes; down stairs, a dining room; and further down, an armchair. Thus he opened his “living room” to the 10 thousand people who filled the venue.

“Mexico City, how wonderful to be here tonight, you don’t know how happy we are to be here with you, to return to the National Auditorium. It’s been a long time since we came here,” he said after his first songs.

Guests and reflections

David Aguilar was the first guest, with whom he performed Caprices of Chance. Venegas also took the opportunity to reflect on friendship before singing Amigas with Girl Ultra.

“When love ends it’s very sad… but I think it’s harder and more unexpected when a friendship ends. I think that sometimes we forget because we think it’s not going to happen and sometimes it does,” he explained.

Topics such as Nostalgia, Farewell and I have to tell you were performed from the living room of their “house”, in an intimate atmosphere.

Tribute to Tijuana and the classics

The singer came out to the edge of the stage to dedicate Legends of Tijuana and Esquina del Mar to her hometown.

“This is a tribute to my Tijuana. Like any border, it has many stages, stories, people who cross… I don’t care what they say about my land, I love that city,” he said.

Then came Volver a ti with Belafonte Sensacional, an intimate version of Lento on the piano, and Te Felicito, dedicated to his father. I won’t fall in love again with Juan Gabriel brought the audience to its feet.

Gold clasp closure

Majo Aguilar joined together to Andar With Me, like a generational passing of the baton. The night ended with You are for me, I’m leaving and Limón y Sal, just before 10:30 p.m.
