R-69 – Bajo la Luz de la Ciudad (25th Anniversary Remastered Edition)
“Some records are timeless. Others are immortal.”
Twenty-five years after its original release, R-69’s Bajo la Luz de la Ciudad returns in a fully remastered edition. But this isn’t just about an album. It’s about Delay — the brilliant, fiery guitarist who poured his heart into every riff, and whose life ended too soon at the age of 27.
The Last Album, The Last Riffs
This was Delay’s final record. His playing doesn’t just exist on these tracks — it defines them. Every chord is urgent, every solo feels like a confession, every riff carries the restless spirit of a man who lived for music and left it all in the studio.
Listen to Huracán and you’ll hear his unrelenting storm. Play Zero Humano and you’ll find his futuristic edge. Drop into Hasta el Cielo and you’ll feel his soul, stretching upward, reaching for something beyond us.
Delay wasn’t just a guitarist. He was a force. A best friend. A brother. And here, 25 years later, his guitar still speaks louder than words.
A Session Etched in History
The making of Bajo la Luz de la Ciudad was an unlikely convergence of legends. Jonny D’ La Peña sat in on drums, giving the sessions a raw, almost reckless drive. At the console was the late Leon Granados, a Mexican studio icon who captured Delay’s guitar with an intimacy that feels like he knew — maybe all of them knew — that they were documenting lightning.
This wasn’t just a record. It was a moment. And moments like this don’t come back… unless you press play.
The Tracks, Reborn in Memory
The remaster doesn’t erase the grit — it sharpens it. The songs are alive again, not as nostalgia, but as a living, breathing testimony to what Delay created:
• Hasta el Cielo – Delay’s farewell, a hymn and a roar.
• Dime Porqué – raw heartbreak, sharpened by his touch.
• Zero Humano – industrial fire, years before its time.
• Huracán (2010) – his storm unleashed.
• Música y Voz – a love letter to sound, to life, to us.
Why We Still Listen
Because Delay deserves it. Because rock and roll deserves it. Because some artists don’t fade — they burn bright, even after they’re gone.
Bajo la Luz de la Ciudad (25th Anniversary Remastered Edition) isn’t just another reissue. It’s Delay’s eternal encore. It’s his name carved into the walls of the city he lit up with his guitar.
And for everyone who knew him — onstage, offstage, or through the speakers — this is how we keep him alive.
