Maná
{
Maná (Spanish: [maˈna]) is a Mexican pop rock band formed in 1981. Originally called Sombrero Verde, the current lineup of members is vocalist-guitarist Fher Olvera, drummer Alex González, guitarist Sergio Vallín and bassist Juan Calleros. The band is considered one of the best-selling Latin Mexican music artists and the most successful Latin American band of all time with over 45 million records sold worldwide. Maná has earned four Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards Latin America, six Premios Juventud awards, 19 Billboard Latin Music Awards and 15 Premios Lo Nuestro awards.
After performing under the name Sombrero Verde for six years, they renamed to Maná in 1986 and released their debut studio album, Maná, in 1987. In 1992, the group released ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide (over 700,000 copies in the US), becoming the best-selling Spanish-language rock album of all time. After several membership changes, the group released Cuando los Ángeles Lloran (1995), which is noted for its stylistic departure from the band's previous work. Maná followed with Sueños Líquidos (1997), Revolución de Amor (2002) and Amar es Combatir (2006), which continued their success. The band followed up with Drama y Luz in April 2011. Their most recent album is Cama Incendiada, which was released in early 2015.
The band draws from pop rock, progressive rock, Latin pop, calypso, reggae and ska music genres. They initially achieved success in Latin America and Spain and have since then achieved worldwide commercial success and popularity.
