The band originally formed in the town of Isla Negra[1] in 1964 to perform cover versions of pop hits in local clubs.
In 1969, Felipe and Andrés Orrego left, shortly followed by Pedro Greene, and the classic band line-up formed, consisting of Julio Villalobos (guitar), Juan Pablo Orrego (bass), and new members Eduardo Gatti (guitar, vocals), Juan Contreras (keyboards, flute), and Sergio Bezard (drums).
Their first LP, mainly of instrumentals, was recorded in 1970, in 12 hours[2] on a two-track machine and produced by DICAP (Discoteca Del Cantar Popular).
Villalobos left in 1972 and was replaced by pianist Juan Carlos Villegas.
The band recorded two more albums, Del volar de las palomas ("The flying of doves", 1972), and Locomotora ("Locomotive", 1973),[3] before splitting up in 1974 following the coup led by Augusto Pinochet.
