A Chilean trio whose sharp lyrics about social frustration connected during the Pinochet years.
For their sound, try 'Sexo' or 'Somos Solo Ruido'. For their political edge, 'El Baile de Los Que Sobran' still hits hard.
Their debut album 'La Voz de los '80' gave voice to a generation's frustration under dictatorship. Songs like 'El Baile de Los Que Sobran' and 'Tren Al Sur' weren't just hits, they were anthems that got them in trouble with authorities. They kept writing about social issues on albums like 'Corazones', which included 'Estrechez de Corazón'.
They formed in San Miguel, Santiago in the early 1980s with Jorge González on vocals and guitar, Claudio Narea on guitar, and Miguel Tapia on drums. By the mid-1980s they were touring Latin America and Europe, but the group broke up in 1991.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
