Fher Olvera of Maná Talks Touring, New Album, His Thoughts on Reggaeton & More | Billboard Cover

Fher Olvera of Maná sat down with Billboard’s Chief Content Officer of Latin/Español, Leila Cobo, to talk about the band’s tour Mexico Lindo y Querido, writing their hit song “En El Muelle de San Blas,” their new album, working with Christian Nodal, his opinion on reggaeton and more.

Fher Olvera:
There is so much history in this room, if this bed could speak.

Leila Cobo:
Fher, Hi. Welcome to Billboard.

Fher Olvera:
Thank you very much for the invitation.

Leila Cobo:
Where are we?

Fher Olvera:
This is my house, your house. We are in a place called Luna Líquida in the very heart of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It is a beautiful town where I had many, many beautiful experiences in this house. In this room, many Maná songs were created from the first album ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños? Many songs from that album were made, all the music we had, our little recorders, from back then, some were even cassette but they were multi-tracks and here we put together the entire model.

Leila Cobo:
Right here, the four of you.

Fher Olvera:
Yes, us four. We slept everywhere, some had to share double beds, and our routine was to be here every day, very early, drinking coffee in the morning and wine at night.

Leila Cobo:
Obviously.

Fher Olvera:
There is also a very interesting story in this room. We went to a club, one of those clubs that end very late. We left around 7 in the morning.
