Parchis was neither a boy or girl band, initially having four members, two from each gender. Eventually, the band expanded to have six members at the same time. Gemma Prat, Oscar Ferrer Cañadas, Constantino Fernández Fernández better known as Tino (singer) and Yolanda Ventura Roman (daughter of the well known trompetist, Rudy Ventura) were the first four kids to be chosen as members of Parchis.
Parchis' first single, "En La Armada", was a Spanish version of the Village People's disco hit, "In the Navy". "En La Armada" became a major hit in Spain, giving way for a number of important music composers to start working with Parchis. "En La Armada" was followed by what was arguably the group's biggest hit, "Durante la Espera de Parchis" ("During Parchis' Wait"). This song became a number one hit in Argentina. Later on, the group also became successful in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and other Latin American countries.
Personal problems forced Oscar Ferrer Caňadas out of the band in 1981. He was substituted by Francisco Díaz Terez, known by fans simply as "Frank". Brothers Miguel Ángel (born in Germany) and Jesús Gómez Cambronero soon joined the band, which by then had six members at the same time.
Losing Oscar Ferrer Cañadas proved lethal to the group, however. With Menudo reaching unprecedented (for a Hispanic children's music group) success levels in Latin America as well as in Spain, and other Latin American groups like Los Chamos and Los Chicos also providing Parchis with competition, and with Ferrer Cañadas' cosiderable amount of fans gone, Parchis began to wane.
In Spain and Argentina in particular, however, the group remained popular enough to release a 1983 movie, "Parchis Entra en Acción" ("Parchis Gets Into Action"), alongside Alberto Fernández de Rosa.
In 1985, Parchis broke up. The group had recorded a number of albums that were successful in Spain and Latin America. More than a decade later, the group would reunite for one television show engagement.

The lyrics of Parchis' song "Superman" embody the power of imagination, and the limitless possibilities it provides for children. The song starts with a call to adventure- "Hoy nos vamos de excursión" (Today we're going on a trip), before inviting listeners to join in the imaginative play of being Superman. The lyrics describe flying to the sun, running faster than a train, and defeating a dragon, all through the power of imagination.
The song positions Superman as a hero and friend to children, with the lines "El amigo de los niños" (The friend of children) and "Es el sol de la verdad" (He is the sun of truth). The chorus repeats the name "Superman" several times, followed by the assertion that no one else has his powers, and no one can beat him. The song ends with a call to sing and always be like Superman.
Overall, the lyrics of "Superman" celebrate the joy of childhood and the power of imagination, while positioning the titular hero as a source of strength and inspiration for young people.
