Aparecidos

Aparecidos is a Chilean punk rock band that emerged in the early 2000s with a rebellious spirit and socially charged lyrics. Founded by frontman Francisco "Pancho" Paredes (former member of punk band Machuca) and Pablo Ilabaca (of Chancho en Piedra fame), the group blends raw garage rock energy with sharp political commentary, often addressing inequality, resistance, and Latin American historical memory. Their track "Lautaro (Leftraru)" explicitly honors the Mapuche leader, reflecting their recurring themes of Indigenous resistance.

Known for their high-voltage live shows and DIY ethos, Aparecidos has maintained relevance for over two decades while sticking to their punk roots. Recent releases like "Aprendiz" and "Ya No Da Más" showcase their signature mix of catchy, riff-driven rock and lyrics that challenge power structures. Their "Sesión Natural (En Vivo)" release underscores their reputation as a band that truly shines in unfiltered, energetic performances.
