2023 repress. La Voz de los '80 was the first album by Los Prisioneros, released by the indie record label Fusion in December 1984, and it came an instant hit. Time has proved that this is the most important album of Chilean rock. Written and produced mostly by their lead singer and bass player, Jorge Gonzalez, the album is a collection of Latin American rock classics, with anthems like "La Voz de los '80", "Sexo", "Latinoamerica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos" and "Paramar" -- songs that have punk, pop and reggae as their main influences. La Voz de los '80 is a masterpiece of street rock, from a band from the suburbs, with the raw sound of a garage band and lyrics that were saying everything everybody wanted to say but couldn't because of censorship. Influenced by The Clash first album, musically simple but with lyrics full of teenage anger and deep social comments, La Voz de los '80 is the soundtrack of the dark days of Pinochet's dictatorship. A true classic. Band members: Jorge González - bass and lead singer (1982-2006); Claudio Narea - guitar (1982-1989/2001-2003); Miguel Tapia - drums (1982-2006).
