Reunion

In August 2025, the original members of PorSuiGieco reunited at the Crazy Diamond Studio in Parque Chacabuco to listen to the remastered version of their only album, originally released in 1975.^[1] The occasion was made possible by the recovery of the Music Hall catalogue by the Instituto Nacional de la Música [National Institute of Music], enabling the reissue in vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.^[2] The re-edition features two remixed tracks, “El fantasma de Canterville” ["The Ghost of Canterville"] and “La mamá de Jimmy” ["Jimmy's Mother"], as well as previously unseen photos and the group’s first poster conceived by Charly García.^[3]
