Early career and Chiquititas; 1996–2001
The Argentine television show Chiquititas, created by producer Cris Morena, was popular in Argentina with adaptations in Brazil and Mexico. In 1996, Camila Bordonaba joined the cast playing Pato, returning later in 1999 as Camila Bustillo. Felipe Colombo initially appeared in the Mexican adaptation before joining the original Argentine version in 1999 alongside Luisana Lopilato. Meanwhile, Benjamín Rojas became part of the show in 1998. The four reprised their roles for the 2001 film adaptation Chiquititas: Rincón de Luz. Their involvement in Chiquititas showcased their musical abilities, which eventually led to the formation of Erreway.
Formation through Rebelde Way, debut album Señales and follow-up Tiempo; 2002–03
In 2002, Bordonaba, Colombo, Lopilato, and Rojas were cast as Marizza Pía Spirito, Manuel Aguirre, Mía Colucci, and Pablo Bustamante respectively in Cris Morena Group’s television series Rebelde Way. The show gained international acclaim during 2002–03. The four actors secured a recording agreement with Sony Music and released their first album, Señales, in 2002. This debut sold one million copies worldwide and achieved double Platinum status in Argentina. Hit singles such as "Sweet Baby," "Bonita de Más," "Resistiré," "Inmortal," "Amor de Engaño," and "Será Porque Te Quiero" reached top chart positions throughout Latin America, Spain, Greece, and Israel. In December 2002, Erreway performed a sold-out concert at Buenos Aires' Grand Rex theater.
Their sophomore album, Tiempo, launched in 2003, sold two million copies internationally and received widespread praise as their finest production. Tracks including "Tiempo," "Será de Dios," "Para Cosas Buenas," "Que Estés," "Te Soñé," and "Vas A Salvarte" enjoyed global success, supported by the Nuestro Tiempo tour. The tour also featured solo performances by fellow Rebelde Way cast members Victoria Maurette and Piru Sáez. The television series concluded its run in December 2003.
4 Caminos, Memoria and Lopilato's exit; 2004–05
Following the conclusion of Rebelde Way in 2004, Erreway committed to producing one additional album and a related film featuring their characters Manuel, Marizza, Mía, and Pablo. The movie 4 Caminos debuted on 1 June 2004; although it received unfavorable reviews from critics, it achieved commercial success. Their third studio album, Memoria, was released on 2 June 2004 and included tracks from the film's soundtrack. The title single "Memoria" reached the top position on the Argentine Billboard Chart and became one of Cris Morena's most acclaimed compositions. After completing the successful Gira 2004 tour, Erreway announced a temporary break.
In 2005, Erreway continued touring without Luisana Lopilato, with Camila Bordonaba stepping in to perform her parts. Lopilato was unable to participate due to conflicting commitments with her telenovela Casados con Hijos. She later officially left the group, citing professional obligations and communication difficulties with the producer as key factors. Although Lopilato declared she would not rejoin Erreway, she left the door open for potential future involvement.
Subsequent tours, projects, and La Miss Tijuana; 2006–10
During the summer of 2006, Camila Bordonaba and Felipe Colombo promoted the compilation album Erreway en Concierto in Spain. Issued by Warner Music Spain, this release included Erreway’s greatest hits along with a DVD featuring live tour footage. In 2007, Erreway—comprising Bordonaba, Colombo, and Rojas—performed before an audience of 50,000 at the Sunny Happy Day music festival in Spain and issued another greatest hits compilation titled Erreway presenta su caja recopilatoria.
Plans for an additional Spanish tour were made; however, with fourth member Luisana Lopilato concentrating on her solo career debut, she opted out. Consequently, the tour was canceled, though a new studio album was intended for release in Spain afterward. Differing from earlier albums, Vuelvo was set to showcase songs penned by the band members themselves, containing twelve tracks: five re-recordings from their 2004 album Memoria alongside seven original compositions. Despite an anticipated release in 2008, it was delayed. Speculation about a European reunion tour in 2009 coinciding with the International Day of Erreway never came to fruition.
In 2010, Bordonaba and Colombo collaborated with Willie Lorenzo—formerly a backing vocalist for Erreway—to establish the band La Miss Tijuana. This group shared several songs via their Facebook and MySpace profiles, marking the definitive end of Erreway’s activities.
Formation of new band; 2012–Present
Felipe Colombo, Benjamín Rojas, and Willie Lorenzo launched a new musical project named Roco. In 2021, they unveiled the album Vuelvo. On November 25, 2024, Camila Bordonaba, Felipe Colombo, and Benjamín Rojas revealed plans for an Erreway reunion tour scheduled for 2025.
Personal lives and media presence
Following their musical releases and work on Rebelde Way, members of Erreway became widely recognized figures both in Argentina and internationally. Luisana Lopilato and Camila Bordonaba—particularly Lopilato—were celebrated as some of the most attractive women in Argentina, Spain, and Greece. Each member maintained significant visibility within media outlets.
Bordonaba and Benjamín Rojas engaged in an on-and-off relationship since their time on Chiquititas. Meanwhile, Lopilato and Felipe Colombo were romantically involved for over five years before their separation was publicly revealed through paparazzi coverage. Lopilato attracted considerable media focus due to her relationships with actor Mariano Martínez, tennis player Juan Mónaco, and singer Michael Bublé.
After Rebelde Way, Televisa produced a Mexican adaptation titled Rebelde, which led to the formation of the internationally successful group RBD. Despite media speculation about rivalry between Erreway and RBD, both bands have denied any animosity. Bordonaba clarified that any perceived competition existed among fans rather than between the groups themselves. Additionally, Felipe Colombo shared screen time with RBD’s Anahí in the 1992 Mexican telenovela Ángeles sin paraíso.
