Cristo y nacimiento

The story behind

Christ and Birth sounds like a theme that grabs you from the first chord. It's not just rock with biblical lyrics: the sound has that mix of urgency and melody that Vox Dei handled like few others in those years. The drums set a rhythm that doesn't falter, and the guitar carries the song with phrasing that seems improvised but is meticulously constructed. It's not a long song —just 3 minutes and 14 seconds—, yet in that time it achieves something many longer tracks fail to do: keeping the listener engaged without losing intensity.The album La Biblia was recorded in the autumn of 1970 in Argentina, with Jorge Álvarez as producer. It wasn't just another project: the band was aiming for something different, and the result was an album that blended rock with references to sacred texts. Cristo y nacimiento is part of that collection, where each song carries its own weight. By 2007, Rolling Stone magazine had included it among the 100 best Argentine rock albums, but at the time they weren't chasing records: they wanted to sound like no one had before.
