Corazones rojos

The song Corazones rojos, with its 3-minute and 32-second duration, represents a sonic turning point for Los Prisioneros. After the departure of Claudio Narea, Jorge González took the creative reins, guiding the band towards a more electronic sound. This album, Corazones, was recorded entirely outside of Chile, in Los Angeles, and featured the production of Gustavo Santaolalla and co-production by Aníbal Kerpel. The result was a departure from the rock with new wave and punk influences of their previous works, venturing into synth-pop and dance-pop, incorporating influences from house and electro-disco.

Formed in the 1980s in San Miguel, Santiago, Los Prisioneros —originally comprising Jorge González, Claudio Narea, and Miguel Tapia— stood out for their lyrics with social content and criticism. Their discography includes works such as La Voz de los '80 (1984) and Pateando Piedras (1986). The album Corazones, released in 1990, marked a significant stylistic change, exploring more polished and electronic textures. Despite the censorship they faced in their country during the military dictatorship, their music resonated throughout Latin America, achieving commercial success in countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
