After nearly three months of competition judges chose the final five members of the band: María José Blum (Guayaquil), Diana Rueda (Quito), Mariela Nazareno (Esmeraldas), Gabriela Villalba (Quito) and Cecilia Calle (Guayaquil).

The band chose the name of Kiruba, which derived from a reading Diana Rueda had done on a brave chieftain of the ethnicity of the Amazonian Shuar people ().^[1]

Her first single "Quisiera" hold the first place for several weeks in Ecuador and in Latin America was the fifteenth in the counting chain HTV.

Their next singles "Camina", "Me Pierdo" and "Como Extraño Tu Luz" were less successful but managed to position at the top of the radio stations in Ecuador.

Second Disc and Separation[]
