A murdered woman's name became Venezuela's most sacred rock record.
Two decades ago, Venezuela's power trio Dermis Tatú released their only album, "La violó, la mató y la picó" ("Raped her, killed her and cut her"). The band was an offspring from the separation of Sentimiento Muerto, and was formed by Carlos "Cayayo" Troconis (voice and guitar), Héctor Castillo (bass) and Sebastián Araujo (drums). The record is still considered by many as the most influential in the Venezuelan rock scene. Twenty years later, Castillo and Araujo remember the stories behind the recording, as a group of the current generation of Venezuelan rockers, not only explain its influence and impact, but also play all the songs from the album, making them their own.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dermis Tatú recorded in 1997 during Venezuela's brief oil-boom optimism, then watched the country collapse while their album gained cult status.
Sentimiento Muerto's breakup was so acrimonious that Cayayo formed Dermis Tatú literally the next day — the new band's name is skin-deep revenge.
