After releasing 1985's Celeste y la Generación, Carballo started singing along with Sandra Mihanovic, and the duo recorded Somos Mucho Mas Qe Dos and Mujer Contra Mujer together. While her popularity was growing, Celeste Carballo started being considered as an opening act to international established artists such as Santana and Bob Dylan.

In 1995, Carballo decided to pay tribute to one of her favorites, releasing a Janis Joplin-inspired album called Live at the Roxy.
