Ok, now I get some verbosity:
# cryptsetup -v isLuks /dev/sda1
Command successful.
# cryptsetup -v isLuks /dev/sda6
Command successful.
# cryptsetup -v isLuks /dev/sda7
Command successful.

The damage was done when I booted the laptop with OpenBSD distro.
All the partitions of /dev/sda were not mounted, and /dev/sda{1,6,7}
were also not decrypted.

For /dev/sda6, I found many examples of text, like this:
# hexdump -C /dev/mapper/encriptado | less

For /dev/sda7, I only found recognizable text in some places, like this:

For /dev/sda1, the one I cannot mount, I cannot find text.  But I had
two virtual machines in this partition and maybe no other files.
# hexdump -C /dev/mapper/crypt1 | less
