The group's first single was "Corazón de Sandía", a summer hit from the first album "Mama Funk" with sixteen songs, released in 1995 under the EMI label. Two years later a second big hit "Cha cha cha" was released as a single, featuring Juan Sativo a rap artist from Chilean band Tiro de Gracia. Also in 1997 another album with fifteen songs, called "La Medicina", was released under the EMI Odeon label. This album is recognized by a lot of latin artists as one of the best latin-american funk works ever.
Los Tetas introduced a new member "Tata", who eventually took the place of Pepino on drums, but also made a huge impact on vocals and musical adjustments. With the participation of a lot of artists from local scene, such as Boomer (DJ and Raggamuffin), Zaturno and Juan Sativo from Tiro de Gracia and Anita Tijoux from Makiza, they made a solid and fun album with big influences from James Brown and Parliament funkadelic. Among the songs recorded in this perieod were "Papi... donde esta el Funk", "Bola Disco", "La Medicina" and "Primavera".
In 1998 after some dissagreements within the band, they dissolved, to reunit again in 1999 with a new formation: Tata (drums), Toly Ramirez Jr. (Bass), C-Funk (Guitar, keyboard and vocals) and Tea Time (scratch and vocals). With this band, they made their fourth album, "Independiente" containing ten songs. This album was edited and distributed by CAPITALUX Discos label. It wasn't as big a success as former albums, but they survive in the local scene with a lot of live gigs. They also made the transition to the north and begin to make some contacts to work in Mexico and USA.
In late of 2002 their last album "Tómala!", with 14 songs (including "I like", "Fiesta Funk", "Underground side" and "Sistemas"), made the band to take a huge jump to a lot of countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Perú, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela and especially México. They also started to perform in the USA. Later they shared the stage with Red Hot Chili Peppers in a concert at the Chilean Estadio Nacional.
In 2004 they dissolved for good, after one of the co-founder members C-Funk, decided to make the transition to a solo career. The remaining artists of the band changed the name to T-Funk and a few months after to FunkAttack, because C-Funk sued them for the similar name.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como me lo dijo el che copete, todo esto es por ti nena.
James Brown esta en el Olimpo cuidando por nosotros junto a George Clinton.
Vamos a buscar nuestra carroza espacial, le llevamos a los dioses nuestro nuevo Funk...
Aparezco, desaparezco, como el vapor de la tetera te traigo mi aspecto hirviendo yo y mi té subiendo junto al aire hasta donde sea, ahora sírvete esta receta especial creada por el Funk para rapear, extra, extra invasión de una mezcla: es yo como un disco listo pa' la fiesta. Digan Funk Funk (Funk Funk), digan Funk Funk (Funk Funk), digan Funk Funk (Funk Funk), digan Funk Funk (Funk Funk), digan Funk Funk(Funk Funk), digan Funk Funk (Funk Funk).
Y no te pasí rollos guacha, que al que esta aquí y se hace el gueón, le saco la conchetumadre con mi chipote chillón.
Todo aquí en el Olimpo está entre el Funk y el Fuego, me siento en llamas guacha cuando mueves tu cuerpo.
Todo cambia nada sigue igual, hasta la muerte el Funk voy a tocar, esta Tierra un día voy a dejar y en el Olimpo voy a terminar... Cee-Funk.
The lyrics of Los Tetas's song El Chavo describe the essence of funk music and the freedom it embodies. Cee-Funk, the singer of the song, boasts about his identity and his ability to go wherever he wants because he is a "teta nena," or a member of the band Los Tetas. He encourages listeners to do what they want and to keep going because the funk music they are experiencing is so good. He references Che Copete, an imaginary character who represents the spirit of the party and the enjoyment that comes with it. Cee-Funk also alludes to the legends of funk, James Brown and George Clinton, who he believes are watching over them from the heavens. He urges listeners to find their own "carroza espacial," or spaceship, and take their new funk music to the gods.
Cee-Funk then describes himself as a vapor rising from a teapot and bringing with him the essence of funk. He offers his own special recipe for hip-hop, a blend of funk and invasion, and encourages listeners to chant "Funk Funk." He warns listeners not to worry too much because he will take care of the fools who try to bring negativity to the party. He describes the atmosphere in the heavens as being between "Funk" and "Fuego," or fire, which makes him feel alive when he sees people dancing. The song ends with Cee-Funk expressing his intention to continue playing funk music until his death and eventually joining the legends of funk in the Olimpo.
