In 1989, Hugo Bistolfi joined the band and then Saúl Blanch left, to be replaced by Adrián Barilari. With that arrangement, the band made its second album Magos, Espadas y Rosas ("Wizards, Swords, and Roses"), containing their classic song "Mujer amante". It was followed by "Guerrero del Arco Iris" ("Rainbow Warrior"). The band ended their contract with Polygram recording a live album, made at the Opera Theater with an orchestra, but this album was released years later. Once in BMG they made a short CD called "El Libro Oculto" ("The Hidden Book").
Both Bistolfi and Barilari decided to leave, being replaced by Mario Ian on vocals and Javier Retamozo on keyboards. With this line-up they released Entre el Cielo y el Infierno ("Between Heaven and Hell"). Later that year, they were invited to play in "Festival Monsters of Rock" in São Paulo, Brazil, along with Ozzy Osbourne, Therapy?, and Alice Cooper.
They released yet another album with new singer Gabriel Marian and keyboard player Javier Retamozo (Hugo Bistolfi left to form the band Alianza with singer Adrian Barilari) called "Rata Blanca VII", the group disbanded in late 1997. They regrouped in 2000 (with Barilari back on vocals and Bistolfi on keyboards) to tour Latin America.
In recent years, they have released three more albums, El Camino del Fuego ("The Path of Fire") in 2002, La Llave de la Puerta Secreta ("The Key to the Secret Door") in 2005, and El Reino Olvidado ("The Forgotten Kingdom") in 2008. The lyrics to La Llave de la Puerta Secreta were inspired by The Da Vinci Code.
Wanting to gain a more international profile, Giardino approached former Rainbow singer Doogie White to record an English version of the Forgotten Kingdom album in 2009.
The band is heavily influenced by British hard rock bands like Rainbow, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, as well as by Yngwie Malmsteen.
Walter Giardino has had successful collaborations with Spain's Mägo de Oz.
The band's name literally means "White Rat" in English; however in South American slang, rata blanca refers to a type of firework.

Rata Blanca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
porque sé que en poco tiempo va a estallar.
Nadie sabe lo que pasará
cuando el caos queme hoy la ciudad.
why que haremos cuando empiece la función,
si las cosas ya superan la ficción.
Rock and roll, dime tu,
Nadie puede respirar aquí,
ni me acuerdo de los sueños que dejé.
Cómo se hare para caminar
si los pies están hundidos en el fango.
Ya no acepto que manejen mi razón,
ya no quiero contener mi corazón.
Rock and roll, dime tu,
para vos, es cara o cruz.
Esta noche no podré dormir,
aunque igual la pesadilla hoy es aquí.
Somos hijos de una sociedad
que no tiene corazón para nada.
why no sé cómo salir de esta fricción;
why me pierdo por las calles a gritar:
Rock and roll, dime tu,
para vos, es cara o cruz.
The lyrics to Rata Blanca's song Señora furia convey a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer of the song is urging someone to leave a place quickly, because they know that chaos is about to erupt. The impending chaos is compared to a show, and the singer asks what they will do when the show starts, because the reality will surpass even the wildest fiction. The lyrics then turn to the theme of rock and roll, which seems to be a source of comfort and guidance for the singer. They ask what rock and roll means to the listener, whether it is a matter of chance or choice.
The second verse continues the theme of desperation, with the singer saying that nobody can breathe in this place, and they cannot even remember the dreams that they had. The feet are described as being stuck in mud, making it difficult to walk. The singer then declares that they will no longer let others control their thoughts, and they refuse to contain their emotions any longer. The chorus repeats the question of what rock and roll means to the listener, emphasizing the importance of this music in times of crisis.
The final verse describes the singer's inability to sleep, despite wanting to escape the nightmare they are currently living in. They see themselves and others as being products of a heartless society, and they do not know how to escape the friction and turmoil that they are experiencing. The final chorus repeats the question of what rock and roll means to the listener, suggesting that this music is a way to find hope and meaning in the midst of chaos.

Perdí la música de mi mp3 y toda la memoria hace 3 años. Hoy estoy viajando por Argentina y se me vino esta canción a la mente. Maldita canción tan buena! Que buenos tiempos
