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.

para nada los encuentras llorando en su caparazon
vanpiros intranquilos tratando d mover el sol
poleras floreadas la envidia d su generacion
la historia no comienza no exist d verdad
el diablo se a marchado un poco mas alla
saltame la luca asta aca
sale sale luca hacenos bailar
saltame la luca asta aca
The lyrics to Los Tetas's song "Sale Luca" describe a group of restless vampires who are stuck in their own isolation. The first line, "estan solo en esta habitacion," suggests that these vampires are alone in their own space, separated from the rest of the world. However, they are not crying or in any sort of emotional distress; they are simply stagnant beings who are struggling to move forward.
The second line, "para nada los encuentras llorando en su caparazon," further emphasizes the idea that these vampires are coping with their solitude through detachment. They are not showing any sort of emotion, and are instead retreating within themselves. The third line, "vanpiros intranquilos tratando d mover el sol," suggests that the vampires are struggling to find a sense of control in their lives, as they are trying to move the sun, which is usually a symbol of power and stability.
The fourth line, "poleras floreadas la envidia d su generacion," introduces a juxtaposition between the vampires and their generational counterparts. The vampires are represented by their floral shirts, which serve as a symbol of their perceived weakness and frailty. This is in stark contrast to the envy and admiration they feel towards the younger generation, who are perceived to have more vitality and energy.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sale Luca" are a reflection on the struggles of isolation and detachment, as well as the need for connection and vitality in one's life.
