1280 Almas is a rock band hailing from Colombia with a passionate following and a career spanning over three decades. Formed in 1992 in Bogotá, the group quickly established itself with a potent mix of punk, rock, and traditional Latin rhythms, a genre blend that has captivated audiences in Colombia and beyond. Their name, intriguingly, is drawn from the novel "Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom" by the Marquis de Sade, reflecting perhaps the band's penchant for challenging societal norms and embracing a rebellious spirit.

Over the years, 1280 Almas has built a prolific discography, with their most recent releases showcasing a band that continues to evolve while staying true to its core sound. Tracks like "El Novelon (Cover Sagrada Escritura)" display their ability to reinterpret works with a unique twist, while songs such as "La Soledad Criminal" and "Corrimiento al Rojo" embody their signature fusion of raucous guitars and rhythmic vitality. Renowned for their energetic live performances, the band has also captured the spirited exuberance of their concerts in recordings such as "Alegría por Encima de la Tristeza (En Vivo)," ensuring that their music continues to resonate with both long-time fans and new listeners alike. With a commitment to musical innovation and social commentary, 1280 Almas remains a vital force in the Latin American rock scene.
