O Berro Seco (The Dry Shriek) is the second album by Milladoiro, released in 1980. Like the group's first album, it includes an inscription on the inside cover in the Galician language:
- Saturnino Cuiñas foi figura moi importante dentro do movimento cultural galego, home que nunca rexeitou do noso idioma, débense á súa laboura de folklorista moitas das pezas que compoñen o que hoxe en día chamamos música tradicional; traballador en tódolos eidos que tiveron o pobo como fin, foi tamen o inventor dunha fermosa tradicion.
- Na capela da Santa Cruz na parroquia de Cesullas, a saída da misa os homes agachados collíanse das mans e do tempo que as suas figuras erguíanse, as voces xuntábanse nun berro que pouco iba medrando deica rematar nun solo aturuxo rachado de súpeto pola orden de Saturnino. Iste berro que simbolizaba a unión de moitos homes nun mismo esforzo recibeu como bautizo o nome de
- O BERRO
- SECO

This cry symbolized the union of many men under the same effort, which I baptize with the name of
