Their first, self-titled album was recorded in 1988 and quickly gained attention on the country's youth radio stations. Songs like "Igor y Penelope", which also featured the first music video directed by Simón Brand, became hits. Other notable tracks from that production were "Desertores" and "Castillos en el aire". This work was recognized in 2007 by Semana magazine as one of the 25 most relevant Colombian albums of the last quarter of the 20th century. In 1988, Pasaporte shared the stage at the memorable "Concierto de Conciertos" in Bogotá alongside Compañía Ilimitada, being both the only Colombian groups invited to this event.
