Hello:

All of us we know him, he was a singer of the most popular chilean band, Los prisioneros and now he is a soloist singer. Yes, I’m talking about Jorge Gonzalez.

He is a Chilean singer that started his career in the famous band, Los Prisioneros. An incredible thing, was that no one of the members of the band knew how to play an instrument. But the most amazing of them was that they singed a lot of songs with contents against the dictatorship of Pinochet, they were very brave to do that, and they had a real influence in the young people of those years.

The band had a fight of the members and then they separated. It was the starting of the first soloist career of Jorge. Then, the band joined again, but then again they got separated. In this second time as a soloist singer, Jorge became to have more success than the first one. Here, he recreated a lot of songs of Los Prisioneros and he made an album called “Trenes”. That is my favourite album of his career.

He passed lot of time out of Chile as a soloist, but he always came to make his concerts. He had presentations in Viña del Mar festival, and the people still like his music. As we know today, suffered of a heart attack in February, 2015 and he´s very sick. He had to learn to do many things again.

If I had a conversation with him I think I would like to talk about his musical career. Or I would like to play the guitar with him. Some songs… I don´t know, I would like a lot to make real this idea. 

I leave you with my favourite song: Nada es para siempre.
