Prior to that, the "50 Aniversario, Vol. 1" and "50 Aniversario, Vol. 2" albums marked half a century of artistic contributions and cultural impact. Their self-titled album "Barrio Obrero de Cabimas" serves not only as a testament to their roots but also as a defining piece of their musical identity, solidifying their status as one of the genre's most influential and respected ensembles.
