They participated in an anti-racist festival in Paris, playing along with Mano Negra, soon, issuing its debut album, called Chac tu Chac, followed by 1994's Ay Ay Ay and 1996's Tercer Arco.

In the year 2000, Sebastián Cardero replaced original drummer Daniel Buira. That same year, Verde Paisaje Del Infierno was released. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
