maNga was formed in the year 2001, being named after the word for Japanese comic books, Manga. Initially, they were mostly underground, playing covers of other rock and metal bands. They came into the public spotlight after finishing runner-up at the Sing your song' music contest. This caught the attention of artist manager Hadi Elazzi (GRGDN), who immediately promoted the band to Sony Music, which resulted in their first, self-titled album being published in 2004, becoming a mass hit.

Following this, they performed at various music festivals and have worked with such famous Turkish singers as Koray Candemir (of Kargo fame), Vega and Göksel. Most of their songs are written by the group members.

The genre of their music was described by Yağmur, the author of most of the songs, as having a touch on nu-metal, rap, hip-hop and mixing these all in a "pot" with melodies of Anatolia.

maNga's duet with Göksel is included in one of the most successful (with almost a million viewers) Turkish films, Sınav (featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme). Their song Bir kadın çizeceksin was featured among the music of the FIFA 06 game.

The band is considered a headliner for several Turkish music festivals, including Saklıfest, Patlıcan, Rokofest and Rock'n Coke.

maNga took to the stage at the Wembley Arena in London, together with Tarkan on 13 April 2008, but was then cancelled because of the technical problems. They then again took to the stage in London at the O2 Academy, Islington on 4 December 2009.

On 12 January 2010 the Turkish broadcaster TRT announced that maNga will be the Turkish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

Mmmmm Maybe I am stupid? ] I voted for Manga, They should have WON THE EUROVISION, They were the best band/song on Eurovision, it is all Political voting, that is why they did not win. Going to Antalya soon, cant wait to see my friends. Hadiyah. xxx

  • EN BÜYÜK maNga

  • EN BÜYÜK MANGA !!

  • GO MANGA!

  • @oezmandu naja sie ist eig ganz nett, wieso zicke? und nein ich fands auch unverdient das deutsche lied ist nicht so toll, türkei hätte gewinnen sollen, so wie mit sertab erener

  • Ach! Hab mich schon gewundert, als ich nach dem Song suchte und auf eine viel seichtere Version gestossen bin. Diese rockigere Version ist viel besser! Und Platz zwei ist doch auch nicht schlecht!

  • @Selinia94 Frankreich? Sone Aufmache alá "total ausgelutschter Sommerhit"? Also bitte...ein Lied mit dem Titel "Allez!". Genauso schlimm wie der Grieche mit "OPA!"

  • @Alex1710XVII ich fands auch nich so prickelnd, es gab bessere

    ich fand Frankreich zum beispiel nich schlecht, auch wenn sie nich zu weit vorne mit dabei warn :(

  • @oezmandu Ich freu mich für Deutschland und für Raab.

    Lena kann mir von der Musik her gestohlen bleiben.
