Over their two decades, the group has released five studio albums and two live albums, undertaking tours across Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Their enduring appeal lies in a musical identity that continues to evolve while retaining the core elements that established them as a prominent act in Paraguay's national rock scene.
The current lineup features Javier Zacher on vocals and second guitar, Celso “Cachito” Galeano on bass, Rodney Cords on lead guitar, and José “Batoloco” Gaona on drums. This anniversary concert offers fans a chance to reconnect with beloved songs from various stages of their career and to experience the fresh material that signals the band's new chapter.
