Maná At The White House: Rock Band Says It Was 'A Dream Come True'; Watch Historic Performance

Maná is making history in 2016, and it all began in February when they became the very first Mexican rock band to receive a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

Following their great milestone, the band announced that they would perform for President Obama at The White House on Cinco de Mayo. The day finally arrived on Thursday, and the band delivered a nearly 40-minute set with some of their greatest hits.

"Wow, wow, wow! For us, a group of guys from Guadalajara, Mexico, it's an honor and it's a dream come true to be playing for Latinos in the White House," said frontman Fher Olvera.

"If they would have told me this 25 years ago... that this would happen, I'd believe it was a dream.... but here we are," he added.

Band member Alex Gonzalez also expressed his excitement and gratitude. "Thank you so much, thank you President Obama for the invitation," said the Cuban drummer.

"To all the people in the White House, amazing staff, thank you so much for everything. Thank you to the Latino community that's here. Viva Mexico, Mana, Cinco de Mayo and the White House!"

At the "President Obama hosts a Cinco de Mayo Reception," the band performed seven of their smash hit singles, the repertoire included the following:

• "Labios Compartidos"
• "El Muelle de San Blas"
• "Mariposa Traicionera"
• "Como quisiera poder vivir sin aire"
• "Donde jugaran los niños?"
• "Rayando el sol"
• "Corazon Espinado"

In the midst of their showcase, which included many "Viva Mexico" and "Viva los Latinos" chants, the band also talked about the planet Earth.

"This song talks about the respect we need to have for Mother Nature," said Olvera before singing "Donde Jugaran los Niños?"

"One of the things that most worries this band is the mistreatment to our planet earth. Global warming is not a joke, and it's something that is affecting us all. We need to find a solution to this now," he added.

In front of a hyped crowd, the band signed off their historic performance with "Corazon Espinado," a song they released with Carlos Santana a couple years back.

"Thank you very much for all the love here, in Mexico and Latin America. We love all of you. God bless and continue celebrating Cinco de Mayo. I need a tequila -- hopefully they don't kick me out of the White House," said Olvera.
