Founded in 1969 by charismatic bassist Juan Formell, the band has maintained its music identity over half a century with a forward-thinking approach, incorporating modern styles without losing its essence.

Currently led by founder Juan's son and talented drummer Samuel Formell, accompanied by Vanessa Formell, a charismatic vocalist, and a total of 16 members.
