Los Chamos went on tour for many years through Mexico, the United States, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Central America, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, etc. After that huge success, four group members alleged poor working conditions and left to pursue other musical endeavors. Four more boys were brought in to form Los Chamos' line up, and another album was released. The sudden, drastic line up change and new album weren't as positively received by the public, and Los Chamos dissolved soon after. They tried their hand at a fifth release in 1990, with six new members, and after that, Los Chamos officially called it quits.
Nowadays some of the former members relocated and live in the United States, Mexico, Germany and Brazil. On August 29, 2018, Mexican television reporter Ana Maria Canseco announced on her webpage that former Chamo Will Marquez Uzcategui, "Chamo Will", died of pneumonia in his native Venezuela.https://account.elnuevoherald.com/paywall/subscriber-only?resume=217566410&intcid=ab_archive
