In 1996 they decided to go to Buenos Aires. In the previous winter León Gieco (one of the most eminent musicians from Argentina) had discovered them and invited them to produce a record under his management. During the year 1997 they started a tour and presented their first release "Los Tipitos".
Their second album "Cocrouchis" was produced in 1999 together with Edelmiro Molinari, Carlos García López and others. The CD was a success, later released by Tocka Discos (Popart).
The year 2000 could be decribed as their big success. Supported by the "Secretaría de Cultura de la Municipalidad de Villa Gesell" (Ministry of Education and the Arts in Villa Gesell) Los Tipitos managed to come up with an impressive show during the summer season, which brought them on the path to fame. 2001 they released the album "Vintage", which was produced by Pablo Romero and Eduardo Schmit (members of the band Árbol). With this record, as well as "Quién va a garpar todo esto? I&II", they proved their firm position in the Argentinian rock scene.
2002 they worked on the album "Contra los molinos" on which all tracks were recorded live. In the summer they went on tour to the most popular seaside resorts on the coast of Argentina.
Right after their return to Buenos Aires, Los Tipitos started preparing for their most important performance: in the cultural theater ND Ateneo. What was a success for the band, was soon well known across the country: both concerts had been completely sold out. In the summer 2004 they returned on their tour along the coast of Argentina, while they prepared for the recording of their seventh release. The production of "Armando Camaleón" was done by Pablo Guyot. In the same year they released "Primera grabación", 14 songs which had been originally recorded on audio tape.
During the year 2005 they released a few video clips, such as "Brujería" (the top-hit of the album "Armando Camaleón"), "Campanas en la noche" and "Algo", which was strangely enough recorded in a swimming pool. "Silencio" came out as well, which was performed live in April 2005 in the Gran Rex, Buenos Aires.
"TipitoRex Vivo" was produced in 2006, a collection of the best live recordings from the Gran Rex theater in Buenos Aires. The album was sold as CD-DVD. In the same year they recorded their own version of "Mil Horas", which was released on CD as tribute to Andrés Calamaro, Cantando al Salmón.
In 2006 they were nominated for the Gardel Prices and won in the category "Best Pop Album".
The latest album "Tan Real" was produced with Tweeny Gonzáles in 2007. It was recorded in June/July 2007 in the Circo Beat and El Pie studios and remastered in the USA under the management of Leos Zervos. The CD features guest stars like David Lebón, Claudio O’Connor, Javier Malosetti and "el Negro” García López.
With their new record they went again on tour within Argentina as well as along the Atlantic Coast of South America. The new album is supposed to be presented on 11th and 12th of April 2008 in the Opera Theater, Buenos Aires.
On February 20th 2008 the Gardel Prices were announced with Los Tipitos as nominees for the awards as "Best Pop Group" and "Best Production of the Year" of which they won the first one on March 26th 2008 in a ceremony in the Gran Rex Theater, Buenos Aires.

Cocrouchis
Los Tipitos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en el fondo del dial,
en tu manera de hablar,
en tu ropa interior.
Cocrouchis en el mundial
y en el maldito amor
en cada luz encendida.
cuando vos no las ves,
como no podía ser,
en el televisor.
Un infinito rebaño
de hijas de Dios
cocrouchis en la cocina.
Ah, cocrouchis, el día está cerca,
guardemos pues una mutación
más para el futuro.
Hay una fiesta de arroz
aquí en el modular,
cualquiera puede durar
sin saber ni entender
que yo las puedo matar
y ser juez y señal
Y cuánto vale una vida?
No sé bien cuál es la causa,
mientras tanto viven en casa.
Si ellas son como yo,
tal vez quieran escuchar
este disco sin dios
que tiene un fin.
The lyrics of Los Tipitos's song Cocrouchis are intriguing and somewhat cryptic. The word "cocrouchis" seems to be an invented term, and it appears repeatedly throughout the song. The first verse mentions different places and objects where "cocrouchis" can be found, such as in the bidet, on the radio dial, in the way someone talks, and even in their underwear. The second verse mentions the presence of "cocrouchis" in unexpected places, like in a crowded café or on TV. The chorus adds a sense of urgency and mystery with the line "Ah, cocrouchis, el día está cerca" (Oh, cocrouchis, the day is near), suggesting that something important is about to happen and we need to be ready for it.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that "cocrouchis" represents hidden or invisible things that are present in our lives, but we don't always notice or acknowledge them. They could be fears, desires, secrets, or other aspects of our psyche that we keep hidden from others or ourselves. The song seems to be urging us to pay attention and confront these "cocrouchis" before it's too late. The line "cuánto vale una vida?" (how much is a life worth?) adds a moral dimension to the song, perhaps questioning the value we place on human existence and the consequences of taking it for granted.
Overall, Los Tipitos's Cocrouchis is a thought-provoking and enigmatic song that invites multiple interpretations. Its catchy melody and upbeat rhythm contrast with the dark and introspective lyrics, creating a unique and memorable listening experience.
