“With the help of artists such as Alejandro Fernández and Maná, we are celebrating the rich diversity in our country and ensuring that families of Spanish predominance can see themselves reflected in the inaugural activities,” PIC communications director Pili Tobar told the press launch.
“More than political, Maná’s voice and power are about humanity,” said Olvera, who has a long history of supporting voter registration and migrants’ rights. “Today we thank everyone who voted for a better environment, for justice for migrants in the United States and for the well-being of the entire planet.”
The highlight was the presentation of mariachi de Fernández from his hometown, Guadalajara, Mexico, accompanied by his live band.
Previously, Puerto Rican Chesca performed a bilingual version of “The Change (El Cambio)”, written by Diane Warren and with Warren at the piano.
