The new lineup

The announcement, made on Monday, revealed that the sons of the founders will carry on the legacy.

La música es la herencia más hermosa que se puede dejar" Source: Excélsior. The new members expressed their commitment to continue the project, with a message that reads: "Queremos honrar su sangre y su obra de la única manera que sabemos: ¡haciendo música!"

Context and plans

The return comes after a difficult period for the band. Marciano Cantero passed away in September 2022, and Felipe Staiti died in April 2026, leaving the group without its two pillars Source: Infobae. Despite this, the new lineup has confirmed plans for a tour, though specific dates and cities have not yet been announced. The statement concludes with an invitation to fans: "¡Nos vemos en la gira!"

While all sources agree on the core details, there is a slight discrepancy: Clarin reports that the initiative came after years of difficulty, while Excélsior and Infobae focus on the recent deaths as the catalyst. The band's future remains open, with no tour dates confirmed yet.
