What to Know Maná is considered by many to be one of — if not the — greatest Spanish-language rock band of all time, winning countless awards and selling out stadiums worldwide. This Wednesday, news broke of their latest historic achievement — becoming the first Spanish-language rock band to be nominated for the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation on Wednesday announced 14 performer nominees for its 2025 induction, and four artists of color were among them. The artists of color include pop icon and R&B singer Mariah Carey, hip-hop duo Outkast, Rock and Roll singer and dancer Chubby Checker, and and Mexican pop rock band Maná.

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

Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, OutKast and Phish are some the 2025 nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a list that also includes two sets of musical brothers who have had public feuds and recent reunions — the Black Crowes and Oasis.

Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Outkast, Maná and the late Joe Cocker are among the acts nominated for the first time for induction into the Rock & Roll

From a pop diva to a jam band, the nominees for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were announced Wednesday.

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.
