La Voz De Los '80

La voz de los '80 is the debut studio album by the Chilean band Los Prisioneros, released independently under the Fusion label on December 13, 1984. Produced by leader, vocalist, and songwriter Jorge González, who credited it to the name of the band. A thousand copies were released in cassette format at its launch, today these cassettes are considered cult objects of Chilean rock. In 1985, Los Prisioneros signed a contract with EMI Odeón Chilena, who re-issued La voz de los '80 nationally and with Latin American projection that year, managing to sell around 100,000 copies in Chile. The album was recorded initially and for the most part at Francisco Straub studios, but it was finished and mixed at Caco Lyon studios. It was characterized by combining the simple sound of guitar, bass and drums. The songs are critical of the world during the 1980s, managing in the song "Latinoamérica es un pueblo al sur de Estados Unidos" to capture the atmosphere of US imperialism and the omnipresent Cold War in the subcontinent.
