Traidores (or Los Traidores, in English, The Traitors) is a Uruguayan punk rock band founded during the post-dictatorship disarray of mid-1980s Uruguay. == History == ''Traidores'' was born in 1983 when Víctor Nattero and Juan Casanova (his cousin) got together with Pablo Dana and started practicing in their houses. The band was influenced by The Clash, Sex Pistols, and by British punk rock from the late 1970s in general. The group started playing live shows and grew in popularity, attracting a large following for the local scene in which they were based. Los Traidores headed up the first version of Cabaret Voltaire, a gathering of musicians, sculptors, painters, and other young artists from the alternative art scene in Uruguay. The band was included on a compilation of Uruguayan groups called "Graffiti" (Orfeo, 1985), along with the bands Los Estómagos, Zero, Los Tontos, Neoh 23 and ADN. Two of Los Traidores' songs were included "La lluvia cae sobre Montevideo" (The Rain Falls on Montevideo) and "Juegos de poder" (Power Games). An album release show was held in the Teatro de Verano in Christmas of 1985. Even though the show was not heavily promoted, more than 5,000 people came to see it. From there Los Traidores continued playing live shows and recorded their first album, titled “Montevideo Agoniza" (Montevideo in Agony) (Orfeo), 1986). The LP did not reflect the theme of its title, even though the record was considered too "heavy" for a first album for its existentialist themes. The band appeared on television, made a couple of music videos (“La muerte elegante” (Death ) and “Juegos de poder” (Games )) and played several large open-air concerts: Veléódromo Municipal (4,000 people), Teatro de Verano (6,000 people) and closed the final night of the Montevideo Rock I festival (15,000 people). In 1987 Los Traidores became a quintet, adding Caio Martínez on keyboards. In this configuration they released their second record with a more toned-down style that enabled them to reach a larger audience. The album, titled "En cualquier parte del mundo" (in the World ) (Orfeo, 1987), was recorded in Buenos Aires. In February 1988 the band appeared again at the Montevideo Rock Festival and later in the year recorded their third album self-titled “Traidores” (Orfeo, 1988), which became known as the “disco negro” (Album ). They also released a live compilation from their appearances at the rock festival, including a version of “Montevideo agoniza” which had been banned years earlier. After this the band split up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Traidores (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
