Grupo Niche's first album: "Al Pasito" was released that same year, 1980, and placed their native Colombia in a modest position in the salsa world. "Querer Es Poder" was Grupo Niche's second album, released in 1981, one year immediately after the first. The group's success was growing larger.
"Trateno" became the group's third album, which featured "Atrato Viajero", one of Varela's compositions of his teen years. And, in 1984, Grupo Niche released "No Hay Quinto Malo", which featured their signature song, "Cali Pachanguero". But, perhaps Grupo Niche's best recording was their next release, "Se Paso!", produced in 1985 under the New York Latin Records label.
In 1986, the band incorporated Puerto Rican vocalist Tito Gomez, who had previously worked with the famous Puerto Rican salsa group, la Sonora Poncena, and Ray Barretto, the Godfather of Latin Jazz. Later that year, 1986, Grupo Niche released "Me Huele A Matrimonio". Afterward, yet another Puerto Rican joined, the pianist Israel Tanenbaum, who would eventually separate from the group and join a Niche spin-off band: Orquesta Guayacan.
Grupo Niche is known for both its vigorous, uptempo dance music as well as slower-paced romantic numbers. Among its best known hits are "Cali Pachanguero", "Del Puente Pa'llá", "Sin Sentimientos", "Una Aventura", "Etnia", "Gotas de Lluvia", "Han Cogido la Cosa", "Mi Pueblo", Hagamos Lo Que Diga Corazon, "Duele Mas", "Nuestro Sueño", and the famous cumbia "Canoa Rancha".
Some of the most famous singers from Niche throughout its changing history include Tito Gomez, Moncho Santana, Charlie Cardona as well as Willy Garcia and Javier Vasquez, now members of the group 'Son de Cali'. They have been very successful, and some of their songs are considered Classics of Salsa Music. The group still enjoys some of its past successes, and, as of 2006, is on tour, making worldwide presentations, and singing their most memorable songs.

Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darse cuenta me olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
No sabe que tengo en el corazon
Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darse cuenta me olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
Lagrimas se me salian
Yo que prometi ese dia
Cuando mi madre moria
No hacer caso si media
No llorar porque creia
Que mi vieja cambiaria
En el cielo si veia
Que su hijito al que queria
Lo que por otra sufria
Sus resos suspenderia
Cada noche, cada dia
Nunca mas ella lo haria
Al ver mi melancolia
Mas su boca presentia
En el espacio la oia
No sabe que tengo en el corazon
Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darce cuenta se olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
No sabe que tengo en el corazon
Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darse cuenta me olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
Con razon me retenia
Desde arriba lo sentia
Mamaita me decia
Que ella siempre me advertia
Lo que el bueno merecia
El malo se lo cogia
La gallina fuerza hacia
Y otro ya se lo comia
Cuando una mujer queria
Sus motives persegia
Y la que antes yo tenia
La que el alma me partia
Me di cuenta que mentia
Cuando los ojos abria
Ahy mi vieja comprendia
Que ella no lo merecia
No sabe que tengo en el corazon
Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darce cuenta se olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
Consejo te juro madre que estas presente
En la vida, tan solo una aunque estes ausente
Consejo.
De madre que quiere, de mama que siente
Ahy de mama que nunca olvida
De madre con aquella luz divina
Que como la historia lo dice y repite
Asi como el carino, hay traicion en la vida
Y cuando mas queremos
Nos hacen la herida
Consejo te juro madre que estas presente
En la vida, tan solo una aunque estes ausente
Consejo.
Tan solo una y no mas
Consejo.
Tan solo ella y no mas
Consejo.
Es la mas santa verdad
Consejo
Es la mas pura verdad
Consejo.
Madre una sola y no mas
No sabe que tengo en el corazon
Sin ton ni son me dijo adios
Sin darce cuenta se olvido
No supo no supe y se marcho
The song, "Consejo de Madre" by Grupo Niche, speaks to the pain and heartbreak felt when a loved one leaves without understanding the depth of emotions held within. The song begins with the singer expressing how the person he loved left him without realizing the impact it would have on him. He had built up hopes and dreams about their future, but now they are all shattered. The singer goes on to recall a promise he made to his mother on her deathbed not to cry over a woman. However, he finds himself unable to keep this promise as he looks at the person he loves from a distance, and tears start rolling down his face.
The chorus of the song pays homage to the wisdom of mothers, highlighting the importance of their advice and guidance in life. The singer implores his absent mother to guide and protect him, acknowledging how much he needs her in his life. The singer goes on to explain how he feels his mother's presence each time he thinks of her, as her words still resonate within him.
The song touches on universal themes of heartbreak, love, and the importance of a mother's wisdom. It is a tribute to the role that mothers play in guiding and protecting their children, even long after they are gone.
