Fun facts

The Prisoners released "El Muro" in 2004, as the first single from their album *Manzana*. The song was released on August 17 in Chile, and was played quite a bit on the radio, although it wasn't a huge hit. The band recorded it with their new lineup: Jorge González, Gonzalo Yáñez, Miguel Tapia and Sergio Badilla. The lyrics talk about a wall that is built, as if it were a symbol of what is experienced in life. The song has a rhythm that sticks in your head, and González's voice carries the weight of the story. It is a track that is repeated on the radio, but it doesn't quite become a classic.

The story behind

The Prisoners recorded The Wall in 2004, as part of their album Manzana. The song was released on August 17 of that year in Chile, and was played on radio with some frequency. It talks about people crossing the border between Mexico and the United States, and how that ended in a wall that kills many people. It is a song that wants the wall to fall, like the Berlin Wall. In the video, the band is in a jeep, approaching a fence that represents the border. The video was shown on Chilean channels like Vía X.
