"Sacros" (1973) is released now on vinyl, from the original IRT masters! The proposal of Los Sacros is inspired by American folk-rock, characterized by its compositions and lyrics full of content, whose main exponents were the group The Byrds and Bob Dylan.

Los Sacros (Chile, 1973). Los Sacros were a recurrent band of schoolchildren in school festivals.

The year 1968 was their consecration in the student festivals. The song that always defeated their competitors was called "Goodbye", original folk rock by the quartet The Byrds.

In fact, Panussis was one of the few musicians on the fledgling scene who played with a twelve-string electric guitar.

The rest of his bandmates, all painting aficionados (Gana and Valdovinos would become renowned painters years later), consolidated a neat visual aesthetic with a wardrobe that generally included black pants and lace shirts.

As their name indicates, Los Sacros had a special fascination with religious motifs. They rehearsed for a long time in the premises of the Church of Divine Providence, provided by Father Correa, who even entrusted them with the task of setting a mass to music with their electric guitars.

The approach to the church also extended to the themes of their songs. "We became friends with several priests, we talked and that's where the themes of the songs came from".

After many changes of members, they managed to record their first LP for IRT, influenced by religious themes, with a more mystical sound that highlights the use of the guitar with some Andean touches.

This LP had a release date of September 18, 1973.
