Their sound has strong influences from hard rock and more mellow pop sounds with additional influences from calypso and reggae. They started with the name "Sombrero Verde", but in the late 80's it was changed to the current name. They have a long trajectory as musicians and the band underwent two lineup changes in the 90's.

Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
LLegandito a la playa, me quisieron enfiestar
Con 10 tequilas pa' empezar 10 margaritas pa' arrancar
La borrachera fue mortal, salí arrastrando del lugar
No paraba el mariachi, de cantar y de pistear
Dos señoritas pa' bailar, me daban copas sin parar
Que me pusieron hasta atrás
Ahí viene el borracho que no para de chupar
Y con los tequilas se enfiestó su corazón
Y con el mariachi se rompió su corazón
Me aventé unos tequilas, me pusieron bien feliz
Me aventé unos mezcales, con todita y la lombriz
Pero el tequila estaba bravo Y con tus besos yo ahogado
Y con la cruda acabado, pero feliz como lombriz
Miren quien llegó
Ahí viene el borracho, miren ya está aquí
No se puede parar, miren quien llegó
Ni un tequila más, mira que borracho va
Ay que borracho es
Mira que borracho va
Ay que borracho es
Mira que borracho va, Ay que borracho es
The song "Borracho" by Maná is a fun, upbeat tune that tells the story of a man who goes on a wild drinking spree while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Despite warnings from his friends, he indulges in tequila, margaritas, and mezcal, eventually getting so drunk that he can barely walk. Throughout the song, he sings about the mariachi band that played all night, the two ladies who kept refilling his glass, and the hangover that followed the next day. He describes himself as a happy drunk, but also acknowledges that his heart was broken by someone.
The lyrics provide a humorous and relatable perspective on the dangers of excessive drinking. The song shows how easy it is to get carried away, especially when on vacation or celebrating with friends. It also highlights the cultural significance of tequila and mariachi music in Mexican culture. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "mira que borracho va" (look how drunk he is), adds to the lighthearted tone of the song.
