Alacran

Alacran means Scorpio.
Ignacio Egaña – lead vocal, bass
Oscar Lasprilla - guitar, keyboards
Fernando Arbex – drums, percussion, guitar
Oscar Lasprilla and Fernando Arbex had previously played in the well-known Los Brincos, who had broken up after their excellent “World, Devil, Body” album (1970). Alacran was apparently a short-lived project, recording an album for demo purposes and then simply disappearing. The album had a short playing time of 26 minutes. Those already acquainted with Los Brincos will recognise the same melodic sound, strongly influenced by late sixties British groups such as Pretty Things, Traffic, Cream and The Beatles. In addition, Alacran had louder guitars and a Latin touch a-la Santana on several tracks.
