Later, Tuto Vargas and Juanito Gronemeyer, the bass player and percussionist from "Lafloripondio" respectively, also joined the sessions. This formation developed the foundation for further compositions. Eventually they invited Chapa, on the percussion, and Tio Rodi, on drums . This was the formation and it remained unchanged until 2001 when they added a horn section, and Michael Magliocchetti on guitar. They recorded their first album "Chico Trujillo y la Señora Imaginacion", released in Germany as "Arriba las Nalgas". With this album the band showed its interpretation of traditional Chilean songs and rhythms blending acoustic guitars, vocals, with the rest of the instruments.
In live concerts, the mixture of traditional cumbias like "El Tren", and "Pedacito de mi vida", was expanded. The band performed primarily cumbias, boleros and ska with renewed texts.
Chico Trujillo performed concerts in the Chilean festival Huachaca, for the "Comite de Liberacion de los Presos Politicos Mapuches", as well as live television performances as part of the "Festival del Huaso de Olmue", the most important folk music festival in the country. They also organized free open concerts and self promoted shows in clubs and bars all over Chile, including the legendary concerts at "La Batuta" in Santiago. In 2002 they made their first tour in Germany in collaboration with the Chilean visual artist Rafael Insunza who was invited to exhibit his pieces at the "Kunsthaus Tacheles" in Berlin. They performed in "Tacheles" in "Cafe Zapata", in the presentation "No al Plan Colombia" at "Humboldt University", in "Kunsthaus Köpi" at the "Festival Liberacion de los Presos Politicos de Chile" as well as in numerous "fiestas latinas".
It was at this time that the band gave their first performances in Spain, la Coruna, Ferrol and Oliera. As they returned to Chile they were invited at the end of the year to play at the closing ceremonies of the "Culture Carnival" in Valparaiso, with "Blue Splendor", a band well known in the harbor area. In February 2003 they played once again at the "Festival del Huaso de Olmue", a program followed by more than 4 million television viewers in Chile alone. There they performed with "Tommy Rey" and "Gioloto y su Combo" at "Cumbre de los Sonoras", a meeting of Chile's best known bands.

The lyrics of Chico Trujillo's song "La cosecha de mujeres" (Women Harvest) speak to the idea that everything in life has an end, but the harvest of women never ends. The repetitiveness of the list of things that are coming to an end - potatoes, corn, mangoes, lettuce, sanity, and waistline, creates a sense of finality or even despair. However, the song then moves on to affirm that the harvest of women is never-ending, never running short, and never depleted.
The phrase "cosecha de mujeres" is a direct reference to an age-old sexist trope in Latin America of women being treated as a mere harvest or commodity that can be reaped by men. The song seems to be a commentary on this ignorant and damaging idea. It highlights the fact that women's value is much more than their ability to be "harvested" and commodified.
In a more general sense, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the objectification of women and how it perpetuates the notion of female disposability. The song empathizes with social and economic struggles, but it challenges these practices of exploitation and patriarchy. It is an upbeat and catchy song that can be enjoyed on multiple levels, whether as a commentary on gender and societal issues or simply a catchy dance tune.
