The album, which marked a clear evolution in Maná's compositions, was recorded between Los Angeles and Puerto Vallarta throughout 1994, although its release was postponed to 1995. The singles that accompanied the release of the album, Déjame entrar, No ha parado de llover and Como un perro had a great impact on radio stations and the videos that accompanied them received numerous awards for their technical and aesthetic quality.
Cuando Los Ángeles Lloran was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.
The song that gave its name to the album is in recognition of Chico Mendes, a Brazilian environmentalist who was murdered.
