"Sobredosis de TV" was chosen as the first single for the first Soda Stereo album Soda Stereo, released on 14 December 1984. The video-clip for "Dietético" aired on Música Total on Canal 9 and had a considerable impact.
The Video for Cuando pase el temblor (1986), directed by Alfredo Lois was filmed at the -pre-Incan ruins of Pucará de Tilcara, in Jujuy. Soda fused rock and carnavalito (traditional Andean music). The video was nominated as the finalist for the 12th World Festival of Video and TV in Acapulco
In 1986 hundreds of Chilean youths received Soda Stereo as popular idols. The song that created this first contact was Nada persona (:es)" (Nothing Personal) which became a radio hit. A little later in February 1987 Soda had a strong showing at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, again in Chile. This, in effect, opened the doors to the rest of Latin America.
