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. The most known members are Fher Olvera in the vocals, and author of most of the songs they play, and Alex, the drummer.

In 1992, the group released ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?, which sold more than 8 million copies worldwide,[citation needed] becoming the best selling Spanish-language rock album of all time. After several lineup 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 (2007), which continued the group's success. The band's most recent album, Drama y Luz, was released in April 2011.

esto es México todo el mundo a bailar
todo el mundo a cantar.
Más ahora, todos a gozar en un lugar que es mágico
la fruta llueve sin parar
el sol se asoma sin cesar
este nopal te va a espinar en un lugar que es mágico
Mágico romántico
Mágico romántico mágico
oh me, México
Desde Tijuana a Cancún
de Chihuahua a Tulún
Acapulco a Veracruz
exótico y mágico es México
Y cuando miras el sol
acuérdate de México y cuando estés frente al mar
acuérdate de México

Todos estamos envejeciendo... Mana ha residido en mi vida desde mis veinte años, y ahora que ya pasé los cincuenta veo a mis hermanos de Mana también mostrando su edad, pero esa música tan rica que está tan cerca de mi corazón todavía suena como la primera vez que escuché cada canción. Se les espera en Dallas, my amigos para siempre.
