Corazones
Corazones (Spanish for "Hearts") is the fourth studio album by the Chilean rock band Los Prisioneros. Released on May 20, 1990, by EMI Records (with overseas distribution by Capitol Records), the album was produced by Argentine musician Gustavo Santaolalla with associate producer Aníbal Kerpel. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Entourage Studios and Mad Dog Studios in Los Angeles, marking the band's first project made entirely outside Chile.
The album marked a major stylistic shift from Los Prisioneros' earlier politicized new wave and guitar-driven rock toward a more polished synth-pop and dance-pop sound incorporating house and electro-disco elements. Primary songwriter Jorge González took greater creative control after guitarist Claudio Narea left the band during the sessions due to personal tensions (including González's relationship with Narea's wife) and disagreements over the new electronic direction. Corazones achieved strong commercial success in Chile, selling approximately 180,000–190,000 copies and earning triple to quadruple platinum certifications, with momentum boosted by the MTV Latin America rotation of the lead single "Tren al Sur". Retrospectively, it is widely regarded as the band's magnum opus and a landmark in Chilean and Latin American rock, ranking No. 9 on Rolling Stone Chile's list of the 50 best Chilean albums (2008) and No. 23 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 50 best Latin American rock albums (2023). It has been praised for capturing the cultural mood of early post-Pinochet Chile and for influencing later artists such as Javiera Mena.
