Mario started to write lyrics at the age of 6 when he wrote a song called "Teresa." The sound of their music is similar to Aleks Syntek's, Sin Bandera, Mecano or Sentidos Opuestos. Their debut album is self-titled and was produced by Aureo Baqueiro, producer of artists like Natalia Lafourcade, Sin Bandera, Kabah, and Moenia. They have received moderate success in the Spanish-speaking world, with songs like "Por Besarte" and "Duele."

The cuneiform sign LÚ, , is the sign used for "man"; the opposite is the symbol for woman: šal, . Cuneiform LÚ, (or lú as rendered in some texts) is found as a sumerogram in the Epic of Gilgamesh. It also has a common usage in the 1350 BC Amarna letters as the sumerogram for "man".
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, LÚ is only used as the sumerogram, LÚ-(58 times).
Both lú, for "man", and šal for "woman" are also considered as determinatives. In the Amarna letters' Rainey's glossary (Rainey 1970) which is the glossary for Akkadian language words, sumerograms, etc., for Amarna letters EA 359-379, uses for both LÚ and lú are recorded. For the Amarna letters in Rainey's glossary, "LÚ" as the sumerogram becomes Akkadian amēlu, for "man".

The cuneiform lu sign is a common, multi-use sign, a syllabic for lu, and an alphabetic sign used for l, or u; it has many other sub-uses, as seen in the Epic of Gilgamesh over hundreds of years, and the 1350 BC Amarna letters.
