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.

Chico Trujillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
No digas nada, que esta historia es conocida
Quise dar una raz
ón
Pero ahora me doy cuenta que todo está peor
The lyrics of Chico Trujillo's song "Lanzaplatos" are a commentary on the violence and political turmoil that has plagued Chilean society for decades. The singer urges listeners to continue with their lives and not speak out about the situation, as the story is already well known. The singer admits to previously wanting to give a reason for the violence and unrest, but now realizes that things have only gotten worse. The lyrics are a somber reminder of the state of the politically unstable country and the challenges that its people face.
One interesting fact about "Lanzaplatos" is that the term refers to a homemade weapon that was commonly used during the Chilean protests of the 1980s. The weapon was made by filling a metal pipe with lead or other heavy materials, and then attaching a wooden handle. The name "lanzaplatos" literally means "plate launcher", as the weapon was often used to throw objects at police or military forces.
Another interesting fact is that Chico Trujillo is a popular Chilean band that was formed in 1999. The band has become well-known for their unique blend of cumbia and other Latin American genres, as well as their socially conscious lyrics. "Lanzaplatos" is just one of many songs from Chico Trujillo that addresses the political issues faced by their country.

@Cristianscar pueden estar echos de cualquier forma, o hasta en stop motion, no importa en q estilo, pero tienes razon la musica es muy importante al fin y al cavo, pero me da mucha pena ver estos tipos de trabajos, por q nos denigra a los animadores chilenos por su pereza, siempre hacen las cosas al lote, ni siquiera hay principios de animacion, mi comentario va enfocado a eso, por q yo soy profesional, y lo miro con otro punto de vista
