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