Los Prisioneros was a Chilean rock band formed in San Miguel, Santiago, Chile in 1982. 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 (bass and vocals), and Miguel Tapia (drums) decided to start their own band while still high school students. They were inexperienced but enthusiastic, after many practices and writing songs, they asked Claudio Narea if he would (guitar) with them, impressed with the music 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.

Los Prisioneros fueron conocidos por sus letras sociales durante la dictadura y en ese sentido fueron un gran aporte, pero musicalmente no eran mas que un clon de THE CLASH y no fueron mas haya que de la voz de los 80, jamas pudieron re inventarse por que jamas tuvieron creatividad lo mismo que Soda Stereo clones de The Cure jajaja por suerte hoy en dia existen buenas bandas ahora puteenme manga de hippies.

lo que sí encuentro que lo de los prisioneros en los '80 era heroico. escuchar el registro de un concierto de ellos efectuado -digamos en 1986- no es lo mismo que lo hecho en el año 2000 y posterior cuando están más cómodos. no digo que sea menos valioso lo último de ellos (personalmente me gusta menos su etapa post dictadura) pero se siente en esos registros de los '80 la rabia, la desazón, el miedo, el no saber si conocerás la libertad, el no saber si volverás a ver vivo a alguno de tus seres queridos. suena sádico, pero encuentro más atractiva esa etapa de loo prisioneros.
