The expression, “Fulano de Tal,” is the Portuguese/Spanish variant of the American term “John Doe.” Normal was Fulano de Tal’s major label debut, released in April 1997 on BMG/RCA records. At the time, Fulano was the first North American latin rock band to be signed to a major label.

Later, Brendan and Adam Zimmon joined Shakira, and lead singer/songwriter Elsten Torres went solo, releasing the Grammy nominated album, Individual in 2006 under the name “Fulano.”
