Stomago Sagrado

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stomago Sagrado is a Mexican rock band. It was formed in Mexico city in 1980 by Victor Basurto and Jorge Beltran, both of Humus and Frolic Froth fame. The four original members were: Pepe Bobadilla: guitar and vocals, Victor Basurto: bass, Jorge Beltran: guitar and vocals, and Pablo Casar: drums.

Their musical mentor was Venezuelan Alberto Turbay, who had great credentials as a keyboard player for some salsa names, but left the scene shortly after. The band played mostly covers by Deep Purple, Santana, The Rolling Stones and Joe Cocker, but they did have two originals, played in their one and only concert in October, though a recording made at a local University internal TV-station survives. The band was a stint, only lasted for six months, but became the foundation of the now long and productive relation of Jorge Beltran and Victor Basurto, who became founders of several cult bands of the Mexican underground scene of the late 20th century and early 21st, such as Loch Ness, Humus, Frolic Froth and Smoking the Century Away .
