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 music|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.
