Manga was formed in the year 2001 , being named after the word for ' cool man ' , ' Manga ' . Initially , they were mostly underground , playing covers of other rock and metal bands . The band made the music for Aşık Veysel 's poem '' Kara Toprak '' , and later used a completely different poem by Göksel for the song which became known as '' Dursun Zaman '' ( by the title of Göksel 's poem " Dursun Zaman " ) . 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 . On 13 August 2006 , maNga became the first Turkish rock band to take stage at the Sziget Festival , Budapest , Hungary . In 2006 they also had concerts in the Netherlands and Germany . 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 , 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 . The band was to take stage in the Wembley Stadium in London , together with Tarkan , but Manga did not perform due to technical difficulties on 13 April 2008 . They also played in London 's O2 Academy Islington on 4 December 2009 .
