History
The group was established in 1989 and played their first gig a year later in his hometown, Utrera. The concert was halted when the group had played only five songs, because the public enthusiastically began to pogo dance, the organization of the concert took as an argument. In addition, singer Lorenzo Morales was released spontaneously from the stage and when he tried to climb back up the security guards stopped him, thinking he was a public component, which the group was left without a singer. After this rough start spent half the money earned in a transport vehicle and battery conditions, and the rest recorded their demo of just five songs because they could not pay enough to include more. In 1994 they began recording their first album, "A Las Barricadas" (At The Barricades), which was released until next year due to financial problems of the label. That same year, started taking his new album, "Cualquier Noche Puede Salir el Sol" (All Night You Out The Sun), which began shipping in 1996.
The record company had not recovered the money invested in the first album and the band had to borrow money to pay the second. To prevent these problems recur, they created their own label called "Producciones Cualquier Noche", and so in 1997 came to light the disc "Los Olvidados" (The forgotten) his first album self-managed. However, this experiment continued to operate by labor problems (the group members could not have both their normal work and that of the label), so his next album is published under the label "Potencial Hardcore" in 1999: disc was titled "Los Pobres No Tienen Patria" (The poor have no country). In early 2002 they released a live double CD called "Bienvenidos al Infierno" (Welcome to Hell). Later, they toured throughout Spain and some cities in Mexico.
In 2003 they created a new label itself, called "Odisea Records". Under it, released the album "La Gran Estafa del Rock 'N' Roll" (The Great Scam of Rock N 'Roll) which told the story of the group and was accompanied by a comic. The seal worked well and launched his most ambitious project, called "Rapsodia Libertaria" (Libertarian Rhapsody). Would have three parts, each accompanied by an informative book about the libertarian movement. So far they have unearthed volumes 1 and 2, in 2004 and 2007 respectively.
On 22 July 2006, at the rock festival called BAITUROCK announced its dissolution, after which he made a farewell tour of various parts of Spain, which later was extended to last almost two years, including festivals such as Rock or Lumbreras the Extremúsika. His recent concerts in Spain were in the room El Grito de Madrid on 9, 10, 17 and 31 May. The group said it would probably include recordings of those concerts in his next and last album: "Rapsodia Libertaria Volumen III" (Libertarian Rhapsody, Vol. III). Subsequently made a farewell tour of Latin America, where they gave their last concert. On June 28 last played at the Estadio Victor Jara of Chile. All material of the group was transferred to the Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo, cultural body of the anarchosyndicalism Confederación Nacional del Trabajo National (Labor Confederation), which are active members.
Upon completion of this project, the singer, Lorenzo Morales, has been involved in group El Noi del Sucre, making his performance at Extremúsika.
A las barricadas
Los Muertos de Cristo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to "A las barricadas" by Los Muertos de Cristo are a call to arms for the working class to rise up against their oppressors. The opening lines describe the stormy conditions, both literally and figuratively, that make it difficult to see, but the importance of the cause spurs them on. They proclaim that the most precious thing is freedom, and it is the duty of the people to defend it with faith and courage. They exhort their comrades to raise the revolutionary banner that will lead them to emancipation. The final lines call for the workers to take up arms and overthrow the reactionary forces, shouting "To the barricades! To the barricades! For the triumph of the Confederation!"
The song is a classic representation of anarchist and socialist sentiment, with a focus on the importance of direct action and the need for the people to take control of their own destinies. It is a celebration of rebellion and resistance, of solidarity and collective struggle. The urgency of the lyrics is reflected in the driving rhythm of the music, with its pounding drums and insistent guitar lines. This is not a song for passive listeners, but an anthem that demands participation and action. For those who are willing to answer the call, "A las barricadas" is a powerful statement of hope and determination.

Negras tormentas agitan los aires
nubes oscuras nos impiden ver,

contra el enemigo nos llama el deber.
El bien más preciado es la libertad
hay que defenderla con fe y valor,
alza la bandera revolucionaria
que llevará al pueblo a la emancipación
