Los Prisioneros




“Los Prisioneros was one of the main rock band from Chile during de 80` and is by many people consider as the most important from the Chilean rock. Los Prisioneros was many time my favorite music band until I had the Basque group “La Polla Records” listen.
Los Prisioneros was a band very famous until now in a lot of countries in Sudamerica, and here in Chile exist many fans but they had many troubles with the Chilean press. That was because the lyrics from the songs, those are very critic with the press and the economical and political system. This is why they are hatred by many powerful people.
The integrants of the band where: Jorge Gonzalez, the voice and guitarist; Claudio Narea, the bassist and Miguel Tapia the drummer. They went to the same school in San Miguel, Santiago, and when they had 17 years they started to play music.
The songs where so famous in Sudamerica because the lyrics where very critical with the Sudamerican dictators (principally Pinochet) and many songs have a social content.
In 1991 they split up, because they had “romantic” problems, as usually, a woman separate music’s band that’s shame. In 2001 they were together, but in year 2004 they split up, once again because the problems between Gonzalez and Narea.
