In 1986 Kraken recorded their first single in a 45 RPM format, under the condition of getting at least 500 signatures from people committed to buying the demanded copies, that at last ended up selling 15.000 copies on its first year.

The songs chosen were "Todo Hombre es una Historia" and "Muere Libre".

Their vocalist, Elkin Ramírez, makes successful arrangements to exit the borders of their city, allowing them to visit Pereira in 1986, performing in the minor coliseum of "Perla del Otun".

In early 1987, Kraken records their second single in the same format "Escudo y Espada" and "Soy Real".
