The story behind
Soda Stereo wrote El rito in 1986, as part of their third album Signos. The song begins with a mystical sound, as if you were entering a ritual, and then dives into the theme with a classic guitar riff by Gustavo Cerati. What's interesting is that they use a Hammond organ from the 70s, instead of an 80s synthesizer, giving it a classic touch and revealing their love for rock from that era.
Live, Cerati used to present it with the phrase "welcome to the rito". They performed it from the Signos Tour until the Me Verás Volver Tour, although they didn't play it in some tours. Later, they re-recorded it live, first in El último concierto and then in the DVD of the Me Verás Volver Tour.
