Mane de la Parra, also known as Mane, (born Manelick de la Parra Borja, 23 December 1982 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican singer and actor.
Mane is the grandson of Mexican writer Yolanda Vargas Dulché. At the age of 15, Mane began to take guitar and singing lessons, and then chose to pursue his career in music, commencing studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2001, and graduating in 2005. To specialize his studies, he took classes in flamenco guitar in Barcelona with Manuel Granados.
Thanks to experience he has gained, Mane is now collaborating with a number of people who are now supporting what will be his first solo album. With Latin pop vibes, he began recording his first album. Part of the recording was made in Buenos Aires, at "El Pie" studio which is owned by Alejandro Lerner. Others involved in this album were : Zurdo Alegibe, the drummer, who previously collaborated on Diego Torres' albums, and Freddy Valeriani, the bass player.
