Ulises Calleros no longer performed with the group, but became one of their managers. On 27 October 1992, the band released ''[[¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?]]'', an album that spawned several hits (including "Oye Mi Amor", "De Pies A Cabeza", and "Vivir Sin Aire"). The record sold over three million copies worldwide and became the best-selling Spanish-language rock album of all time.<ref name="Burden">{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-jun-19-ca-47944-story.html|title=The Burden of Success|last=Valdes-Rodriguez|first=Alisa|date=19 June 1999|access-date=28 March 2012|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> The band undertook an international tour with 268 concerts in 17 countries.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}} In 1994, López and Iván González left the group due to musical and personal disputes.<ref name="Reshaped">{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-11-02-ca-64097-story.html|title=Reshaped, Tougher Mana Fights Back With 'Angeles'|last=Lopetegui|first=Enrique|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=2 November 1995|access-date=29 March 2012}}</ref> Fher Olvera and [[Alex González (musician)|Alex González]] felt that their departure offered an opportunity to reinvent the group's sound, and searched throughout Mexico, Spain, and Argentina to find a new guitarist.<ref name="Reshaped" /> In the meantime, Maná released the live album ''[[Maná en Vivo]]'' before choosing Mexican guitarist [[Sergio Vallín]] to replace Calleros and López.<ref name="Allmusic" /> In 1995, the band recorded a Spanish version of [[Led Zeppelin]]'s "[[Fool in the Rain]]" (Tonto En La Lluvia) for the tribute album ''[[Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin|Encomium]]''.<ref name="Reshaped" /> [[File:Maná - Rock in Rio Madrid 2012 - 38.jpg|thumb|Lead singer Fher Olvera and Juan Calleros performing at Rock in Rio Madrid 2012]] On 25 April 1995, the group released ''[[Cuando los Ángeles Lloran]]''.
