The group gained popularity almost instantly and released notable tracks like "La Luna en Tu Mirada" (1960) and "Amor Loco" from the film Soy Cuba in 1964. Their catalog includes releases such as Los Zafiros (1961), Mírame Fijo (1964), and Volver... Volver (1974). Their music was featured internationally, including in the series Breaking Bad.
