Description/Reviews: 

The music on Estirpe Lítica is a fusion of high-energy rock with jazz influences, sometimes heading into metal territory courtesy of the guitar work which elsewhere brings Santana to mind. Indigenous South American sounds and rhythms are added to glittering effect, the drums and percussion of González Mera driving the compositions along with the often gritty guitar of Cárcamo buzzing around like a disgruntled wasp; there is an energy and vitality in these pieces that stretches out as the music demands but retains a purposeful focus. The pieces are concise in that they do not outstay their welcome and retain the interest but there is still space for them to breath. The instrumentation flows beautifully through each phase and the vocals together with the contributions from string and brass are pitched just right for maximum effect. It is this attention to detail that gives Estirpe Litica the legs for a long shelf-life as you hear new elements every time you listen. There is an awful lot going on within the songs.
