The band's members are Alain Gómez, Alejandro "Piti" González, Gabriel Millán and Rafael Urbina. The group's first album, Tres Casas, which was released in June 2006, experimented with Electronic music to integrate several genres such as Pop, Latin, Rock, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Afro-Venezuelan, Classical, Hindu, Tango and Jazz.

Tres Casas, which literally means Three Houses in Spanish, was released with a surrounding concept represented in the album's art and multimedia content, designed by the Venezuelan artist collective Keloide. Famasloop has described to the press that the album is divided into three houses, each one with a different theme (commercial, intellectual and spiritual). All of these houses include a half-a-minute introductory Puerta (Spanish for door), and three songs, making a total of twelve tracks. The album received production and post-production guest contribution from well-known musicians, such as Tweety González (keyboardist of Fito Páez), Nené Vázquez (percussionist of Aterciopelados), Guille Vadalá (Bass guitarist of Fito Páez), Oswaldo Rodríguez (Sur Carabela) and more.

Chinita
Famasloop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay chinita!, Qué sería del café sin azuquita
¿Qué sería de los Besos sin la boquita?
¿Cómo hacen estos pies pa no correr a donde quiera que tú estés?

¡Ay chinita!, ¿Qué sería de la oreo sin su cremita?
¿Cómo haría mi guitarra sin sus cuerditas
¿Cómo hacen estos pies pa' no corré a donde quiera que tu estés?

Necesito unas clases de cómo vivir sin ti
Pero no me enseñes desde allí... Ven aquí, cerquita
Que de lejos yo no veo por la miopía y de lejos... la letra se me olvida.

Ven y dime al oído la siguiente rima.
Enséñame a vivir sin ti... pero de cerquita.

Overall Meaning

In Famasloop's song "Chinita," the singer expresses their undying infatuation for their Chinita, a term of endearment used for a Chinese descendant or someone with East Asian features. The first verse reflects on the necessity of sugar in coffee and lips in kissing, highlighting how essential Chinita is in their life. The chorus repeats this sentiment, as the singer wonders how they can go anywhere without following Chinita. The second verse compares Chinita to the creamy filling in an Oreo cookie and the strings on a guitar, emphasizing how they are necessary for the singer's life to be complete.

The singer then acknowledges that they need to learn how to live without Chinita, but begs for her to teach them up close since they cannot see or remember from afar. The song encapsulates a feeling of admiration, dependence, and yearning for Chinita, where the singer is willing to live without her, only if she is present to guide them.
