Biography

San Miguel, Santiago, Chile (1982 – 1992, 2001 – 2006)

Los Prisioneros was a Chilean rock band formed in San Miguel, Santiago, Chile in 1982 by Jorge González (bass & vocals), Claudio Narea (guitar) and Miguel Tapia (drums). They began as a local band during the early 1980s, playing small shows in their neighborhood and high school. After selling a limited press number of their first album in Chile under the independent Fusión producciones label, they signed to EMI in 1985, re-releasing the same album on an LP record and Cassette. From that point on they reached mainstream success in Chile, then Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Eventually in the early 90’s their albums were re-released completely in remastered Compact Disc form, this is when Chile was no longer run by a military regime which oppressed their music in the late 1980s. Throughout the 1990s their music spread out, reaching all of South and Central America as well as some parts of the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The band started when Jorge González and Miguel Tapia decided to start their own band while being high school students. They were inexperienced but enthusiastic, after many practices and writing songs, they asked Claudio Narea if he would like to join them, and impressed by the music they were making, he accepted. Towards the early 80’s they went through some name changes and before settling on “Los Prisioneros” they had the name “Los Vinchukas” as their original name. In 1983, they had played a number of local shows and that’s when they met Carlos Fonseca, their future manager. Through him, they managed to score a record deal with Fusión Producciones.

    Considerando que las canciones pop son las que se vendieron afuera, es como lógico que sea así. btw Generación de Mierda, Mentalidad Televisiva y Latinoamerica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos son grandes canciones.

    Estuve leyendo los tag, y hay uno que dice: "Rock argentino" y tiene toda la razón mas que todo el resto de tag, y uno de los mas erroneos es el "punk" y "punk rock" en el primer caso es imposible que sea asi, ya que el punk jamas busca "sonar bonito" y en el segundo mas erroneo aun ya que ese genero ni existe, es simplemente "punk".
