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.
medallita
Chico Trujillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El niño salió de misa y se encontró una medallita
El niño salió de misa y se encontró una medallita
Que representa la imagen de la virgen Maria
Preciosa virgencita y el niño se percina y le da su medallita
Que representa la imagen de la virgen Maria
Preciosa virgencita y el niño se percina y le da su medallita
Ay
El niño salió de misa y se encontró una medallita
Temblando de miedo junto a su familia
Mami mira lo que me encontré
Mira lo que me encontré
Mira lo que me encontré
Mira lo que me encontré
Mira lo que me encontré
Mira lo que me encontré
The lyrics to Chico Trujillo's song "Medallita" tell the story of a young boy who discovers a medallion with the image of the Virgin Mary after leaving Mass. The boy is filled with awe and reverence upon seeing the precious Virgin Mary, and he crosses himself before giving the medallion to her as a gift. The second stanza shows the boy returning from Mass with his family, and he shows them the medallion, expressing his excitement and fear. The repetition of "Mira lo que me encontré" ("Look what I found") emphasizes the boy's awe and surprise upon finding the medallion.
The song carries with it a deeply religious tone and reinforces the power of faith in the Catholic tradition. The Virgin Mary is revered in the Catholic Church and is seen as an important intercessor between God and his followers. The boy's experience highlights the personal and emotional connection that people can have with their faith and with religious objects such as the medallion.
Overall, "Medallita" finds its strength in its simplicity, and even non-Spanish speakers can connect with its universal theme of faith and reverence.

Recuerdo cuando tenía 8 años en 2008 en un pequeño pueblo de Perú, estaba en la escuela, era recreo y uno de mis compañeros encontró una moneda en el césped del patio y la recogió cantando: '' Mira lo que me encontré,mira lo que me encontré '', yo No recuerdo si había más gente alrededor, así que no sé si el chino quería bromear conmigo o con otras personas. 2021 Me acabo de acordar de eso y escribí la letra en Youtube y encontré la canción. Buenaza.
