Jorge González

Jorge Humberto González Ríos (born 6 December 1964) is a Chilean singer-songwriter, best known for being the leader, vocalist, writer and bassist of the band Los Prisioneros, considered by some to be the most popular rock band in the country. González recorded six studio albums with Los Prisioneros and five as a solo artist. He also formed the Latin electronic project Gonzalo Martínez with fellow musician Dandy Jack, which would become the precursor of the genre known as technocumbia, established with their first and only album released in 1997. It became a success in Europe's underground music circuit, mainly in Germany and United Kingdom. After his second period with Los Prisoneros, González formed with his third wife the duet "Los Updates" in 2007, only to disband in 2011 after an extensive Europe tour. In 2014, with the pseudonym "Leonino", he edited for the USA market an English album called Naked Tunes. The next year he released a remix of the album called Mixed Feelings. In February 2015, he collapsed mid-tour due to a Cerebral Vascular Accident. During his Convalescence in Santiago, he released three singles for a then-upcoming album, Trenes.
