About Sietecuero
Sietecuero was a Venezuelan Latin pop and rock fusion project formed in the mid-1970s in Caracas, Venezuela. The group is best known for its 1978 LP Rojo Sangre, released by Velvet Records. Although short-lived, Sietecuero is considered part of the generation of Venezuelan musicians who experimented with blending rock, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean elements during the 1970s. Formation and Members Sietecuero brought together several musicians active in the Caracas music scene: []Lead Vocals & Acoustic Guitar: Yordano (Giordano Di Marzo), born in Rome, Italy (1951) and raised in Venezuela. []Drums, Percussion, Guitar & Vocals: Evio Di Marzo (1956–2018), born in Caracas. []Piano, String Ensemble & Vocals: Alberto Slezynger []Bass: Rafael Figliuolo []Guitars, Cuatro & Backing Vocals: Bartolomé Díaz []Congas & Backing Vocals: Totoño Blanco [*]Timbales, Bongos & Percussion: Alberto Borregales Yordano would later become one of Venezuela’s most prominent singer-songwriters, while Evio Di Marzo gained recognition for his work in rock and Caribbean-influenced projects. Their collaboration in Sietecuero represents an early intersection of their musical paths. Musical Style and Themes Sietecuero’s sound combined: []Latin pop song structures []Rock instrumentation and electric arrangements []Jazz-influenced harmonies []Afro-Caribbean percussion textures (congas, timbales, bongos) Lyrically, Rojo Sangre reflects urban themes, emotional intensity, and social observation characteristic of late-1970s Latin American popular music. The arrangements feature layered percussion and a balance between acoustic and electric instrumentation, situating the album between progressive experimentation and accessible Latin pop. Rojo Sangre (1978) Released in 1978 in LP format, Rojo Sangre was recorded and mixed at Ochoa Recording Studios (Puerto Rico) and produced by Fred Weinberg. The album consists of seven tracks divided into two sides, including “Vida Moderna / Noche,” “Arrabalera,” “No Asimilo,” and “Rojo Sangre y Negro.” Following the release of the album, the project did not continue as a long-term act. Over time, Rojo Sangre has become a reference point for collectors and historians interested in Venezuelan rock-pop fusion of the 1970s. Despite its brief existence, Sietecuero occupies a place in Venezuelan music history for bringing together musicians who would later shape significant strands of the country’s contemporary popular sound.
