A moment that stole hearts, without a doubt, occurred when the chords of “Following the moon” sounded and, at that precise moment, the star emerged from the clouds, while thousands of people chanted the song.

Emblematic songs of the group such as “Manuel Santillán, el león”, “El muerto”, “El genio del dub”, “Calaveras y diablitos”, “Malbicho”, “Matador” and “El satánico Dr. Cadillac”, among others they let themselves be heard.

Vicentico, vocalist and co-founder of the band, thanked the public and dedicated a few words to the Mexican public: “Thank you very much, dear, dear, until always, it has been an honor to play for you.”
