Eduardo "Lalo" Ibeas, the founder and original voice of the Chilean band Chancho en Piedra, has clarified that a reunion is not imminent, even though all members wish to perform together again. The band has been on an indefinite hiatus for three years, with each member focusing on their independent musical endeavors.
We've gotten together with the guys, we've talked about whether we want to come back and we all want to, but we all agree that it's not yet time.
Ibeas, currently promoting his new solo project Pascual Arroyo, explained that the group's members have discussed a potential comeback. "We've gotten together with the guys, we've talked about whether we want to come back and we all want to, but we all agree that it's not yet time," he told Cooperativa. He emphasized the need for each member to achieve personal goals before reuniting, stating, "The idea is that we return with everything. It's not that we'll do just one show and then continue doing other things separately. The idea is that we are like we were before, a united team of friendship and music."
Chancho en Piedra's hiatus has seen its members engage in various projects. Felipe Ilabaca and former guitarist Pablo Ilabaca are working together as Hermanos Ilabaca and are also involved with the popular children's show "31 Minutos" alongside drummer "Toño" Corvalán. Guitarist C-Funk remains active with his band Los Tetas.

Ibeas also expressed his commitment to his solo career, Pascual Arroyo, indicating he would like to continue with it even if Chancho en Piedra were to reunite. "If Chancho en Piedra were to return someday, I would like to continue with Pascual Arroyo," he asserted, noting that the projects have different stages and styles, making parallel work feasible.
