At the beginning of the 70s, with a masculine formation –five voices, two guitars and drums– Madrigal took part in the major folklore festivals in the Country, winning eleven prizes and receiving excellent reviews from the critics. In 1973 the group released its selfnamed debut record with vocal arrangements by Damián José Sánchez and, three months later, due to the good reception of the album, the company edited a single with two of its tracks: Canción por el fusil y la flor, and Marrón. One year later, Madrigal took part in a record called «Cosquín ya es historia» together with the legendary group Los Huanca Huá and the Cuarteto de Cuerdas para el Folklore among others.

In 1976, a single, with two songs: Canción por Gabriela y Cautivo de Til Til was released, but it never reached the radio stations since it was, immediately after its release, captured from the stores by the military regime that had, in march of that year, taken control of Government. In 1977, Madrigal successfully presented its shows in cafe concerts and theatres, achieving what can be considered a record at that time: more than sixty consecutive concerts in Rosario with a show called: ¿Quién está triste ahora?, where Juliovich and Quique Pessoa displayed their histrionics and humour. In 1978, after recording a new long play at ION studios, they moved to Buenos Aires for several months to fulfil the requirements the new material diffusion.
