Their first album, called Kinky , was released in early 2002 and was a success in Latin America, and had some success in the U.S. Their 2nd single, titled Más, is nowadays their most known single all around the world.

In mid-2006 the band released Reina (album) , in an attemp of returning to their electronic sound.
