Watch Maná perform at the Kamala Harris Las Vegas Rally

Vice President Kamala Harris is looking to secure Latino votes from battleground states, including Nevada, where she will attend a Las Vegas rally Thursday night (Oct. 31) with a Mexican rock band Mana behavior. The Harris-Walz campaign also confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will attend, where she will speak about the importance of voting.

“These artists and public figures are trusted voices for millions of Americans, who listen to their music, follow them on social media or are otherwise inspired by them,” the campaign said in a press release. “The Harris-Walz campaign believes that by using their votes to put out what this election is all about, it will further encourage and mobilize people to go vote.”

With five days until Election Day on Tuesday (November 5), Nevada, considered a swing state, is expected to play a pivotal role in the presidential election. Latinos represent about 30% of Nevada’s population, and statewide, an estimated 36.2 million Latinos are eligible to vote this year, up from 32.3 million in 2020, according to Pew Research Center.

Maná has a long history of using his platform to encourage Latino voters to make their voices heard during the US presidential election. They have also condemned Donald Trump’s racist rhetoric since he launched his first presidential campaign in 2015, when the Republican candidate called Mexicans “rapists” and “criminals.” Under their Latin Grammy performances that year, Maná, along with Los Tigres del Norte, unfurled a banner that said “Latinos, united, don’t vote for the racists.”

This time they are just as vigilant. After Nicky Jam endorsed Donald Trump in September — the reggaetón star has since withdrew its support — Maná is removed its 2016 remake of “De Pies a Cabeza,” a collaboration with Nicky, from streaming services, declaring that the group did not “work with racists.”

With his appearance in Las Vegas on Thursday night, Maná is redoubling his efforts to secure the win for the Democratic ticket. Previous Thursday, Los Tigres del Norte performed at a Harris rally in Phoenix.
