Los Prisioneros - Quieren Dinero EP

Review by Adnan Nahas

Los Prisioneros' Quieren Dinero is a classic album that still holds up today. The Chilean rock band's third studio album, released in 1984, features anthemic songs that address social and political issues, as well as personal struggles. The album's title track, "Quieren Dinero," is an infectious call to arms against the greed and corruption of the music industry, with its memorable chorus and driving rhythm. Other standout tracks include "¿Por Qué No Se Van?" which denounces the dictatorship in Chile, and "Muevan Las Industrias," which criticizes the exploitation of workers. The band's signature sound, a mix of punk, new wave, and rock en español, is on full display throughout the album, with catchy guitar riffs, energetic drumming, and the distinctive vocals of lead singer Jorge González. Quieren Dinero is a must-listen for fans of Latin American rock and anyone interested in socially conscious music.
