Epicas Sagradas by La Forasteria

Octo Records is thrilled to present Épicas Sagradas, the new album by La Forastería — the eclectic ensemble from Argentina whose music fuses epic vocals, organic instrumentation, and vibrant tribal rhythms into uplifting sonic journeys.

Infused with joy and celebration, each track invites the listener into a rich and spirited world where ancestral wisdom meets contemporary soul. Flowing through varied tempos yet always riding high vibrations, this creation takes you on a journey that inspires you to smile, to dance, to share, and to simply be happy and free.

As a special bonus, the album features a collaboration with the legendary producer Lagartijeando — a song that feels like the cherry on top of the most delicious cake you could taste.

La Forastería is a visionary group rooted in South America’s sacred musical traditions. Founded by Toni Volpe (vocals, percussion) and Tuto Petruzzi (producer, multi-instrumentalist), the band is completed by Danilo Burgos (bass), Esteban “Vikin” Galina (saxophone), Alejandro Reynaga (percussion), and Nicolás Kozak (synths).

The ensemble lives and creates within a permaculture-based artistic community in the mountains of Córdoba, Argentina. Their music is recorded in a self-built, sustainable studio — a space where life and art are intimately intertwined. Their process reflects a commitment to nature, creativity, and collective evolution as sacred acts.

La Forastería has performed on renowned international stages such as O.Z.O.R.A Festival (Hungary), Ancient Trance (Germany), and Garden of Light (Ibiza), captivating audiences with their unique energy, rich aesthetic, and powerful live performances.

This release also marks a special moment for us, as we proudly present our very first vinyl edition through Octo Records. It’s the beginning of a new chapter for the label — one that brings the music we love into a physical format to be shared, played, and treasured. We’re really grateful to make this step alongside La Forastería, whose music and message resonate so closely with our vision and dream.
