Bufón borns as a band by mid 1998, when lead singer Osvaldo Garbuyo, bass player Aníbal Pereda (formerly in the band La Yuyera) and drummer Jim Porter (now in Kato) get in touch with guitar player Gabriel Méndez, by an advert. With this formation, the band starts to play in the circuit of Montevideo and to develop a repertoir that lasts till today.
In February of 1999, Jim Porter is replaced by Diego Méndez in the drums. This formation is the one that holds on till today.
