e Radio and especially of his song The singing of the rooster, which led them to baptizing the group as 'El Canto Del Loco'. During these beginning, the group, besides both founders, was including a girl to the battery, to a bassist and to another guitarist. Nevertheless, the latter left the group for lack of time, and, the day before his first concert, David Otero, cousin of Dani, joined the group as his substitute.

In substitution of the baterista, there appeared Jandro Velázquez, an electrician who was a son of a few friends of the parents of Dani and whom this one knew in a Fleming's contest.
