Project started in 2003; After a long composition process they reached their first studio album in the company of Tito and Paco from Molotov, as well as Emanuel del Real from Cafe Tacvba and Tony Peluso, going on sale on December 4, 2006.
At the same time that they were preparing their album, they had several presentations, going to parties and bars both in the Federal District (Mexico) and in cities in the interior of the republic. In this country they have played in venues such as the National Auditorium, the Palacio de los Deportes and the Foro Sol, sharing with musicians of the stature of Fobia, Molotov, The Killers and Franz Ferdinand, in addition to performing twice at the Iberoamecano Festival of Musical Culture "Vive Latino".
The band will present their second material titled ORO (from which the singles 'Vamos Otra Vez' and 'Cárcel' are released) on June 30, with special pre-sales during the Vive Latino '09 Festival on the 27th and 28th of the month.

The song "Papá te quiero" by Bengala is a fun and playful tune that speaks to the relationship between a father and his kids. As the title suggests, the song is a message of love from the kids to their dad. The song has a repeating chorus of "Papá papá" that hooks the listener in and creates a joyful, almost childlike atmosphere.
The lyrics of the song are filled with requests from the kids to the father. They start by asking him to take them to play, then to feed them, and then to take them to the bathroom. As the song progresses, the kids ask for more outlandish things like getting a pet alligator, speaking German, and climbing a volcano. At first, the requests are innocent and cute, but as they become more absurd, the father starts saying "NO" to them.
There is a sense of playfulness, nostalgia, and love in the song that captures the essence of childhood. The kids want to do all sorts of quirky things, and the father is there to guide and say "NO" when necessary. The song is a testament to the bond between a parent and their children and how playful moments can create strong memories.
