He worked faithfully on his craft, dreaming of the day when he might join his brother's band, La Tropa, a group that specialized in perico ripiao, the folkloric precursor to modern-day merengue. Gutiérrez soon joined up as one of the group's percussionists, who were known for their complex rhythmic breaks.
His familiarity with the complex and idiomatic style offered Gutiérrez many advantages, and he relocated to Santo Domingo when he was 16, planning to begin his professional career. Already an excellent conguero, it wasn't difficult for Gutiérrez to obtain work with merengue groups in the capital city.
His professional debut came a short time later with La Banda Salvaje, and shortly thereafter, Grupo Bongo, with whom he was given his first taste of international touring. It was also during this time that Gutiérrez branched out and began to learn piano, composition, and various vocal styles. His solo debut album under the moniker Mala Fe was released in 2000.

The song "Velocidad 6" by Mala Fe is a playful and suggestive track that celebrates feminine sexuality and power. The lyrics describe the singer as the "wife of the watermelon" with a slim waist and large buttocks. The repetition of the phrase "I grind all the time" hints at sexual activity and suggests that the singer is in control of her own pleasure.
The chorus of the song emphasizes speed, specifically "speed 6" which is faster than the previous speeds mentioned. This could be a reference to sexual stamina or the desire to push boundaries and challenge societal norms. The use of onomatopoeia in the chorus with "va-va-va" also adds to the sense of movement and excitement.
Overall, "Velocidad 6" is a light-hearted and fun song that celebrates female sexuality and power. The lyrics are often suggestive but not vulgar, and the use of speed as a metaphor adds a playful and energetic quality to the track.
