- This is a flyer for a concert that never was: Maná & Voz De Mano at Casa de la Raza, one of the oldest non-profit community centers in Santa Barbara.
In addition, Casa de la Raza long served as the punk DIY venue that fostered the punk scene in the 805 and also saw some of the genre’s most (in)famous acts perform at Casa de la Raza.
You should definitely check the IG account @santabarbarababylon that is doing a great job at excavating and sharing the history of underground music and skateboarding of the Santa Barbara/805 area.
Back to this Maná no-show. The July 1993 concert organized by the Club Rock en Español was the heels of the release of ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? (1992) that propelled the Guadalajara band into international fame.
While the flyers were distributed, and the tickets had already been printed, Maná cancelled their show last minute. ¿Qué porqué? Pues ¿porqué más? ¡Se fresearon! ???????????????????? Now look, I completely know that speaking of Maná is sacrilegous for anyone who calls themselves a true rockerx, but let’s also be honest, as music programmer extraordinare @marissa.gastelum affirms, Maná was the gateway drug for many people who got introduced to the genre by listening to Maná songs and then delving into more solid bands.
Así que no se hagan and drop your favorite Maná tracks in the comments OR you can just badmouth them o rayenmela por haber puesto este flyer. ¡Me vale! ¡échale vampiro! ????
