Moenia may be considered one of the first modern, successful, experimental Mexican groups, finding commercial viability in a market normally dominated by old-style Latin crooners, Ranchera and Cumbia.

More recently, the reunited band has won over new fans with songs infused with ‘80s-style electronica.
