Los Bunkers, a band hailing from Concepción, Chile, is synonymous with the resurgence and modernization of Latin American rock music during the early 2000s. Formed by brothers Álvaro and Gonzalo López, Mauricio Basualto, Francisco Durán, and Mauricio Durán in 1999, the group has established a sound that fuses traditional rock influences with Latin rhythms and layered poetic lyricism. Los Bunkers' music reflects the unique sensibilities of Chilean culture with universal themes, making them a band that resonates well beyond their homeland.

Their discography is marked by a series of influential releases, such as "Vida de Perros" and "La Velocidad de la Luz," showcasing their evolution from garage rock roots to a more mature, polished sound that often incorporates political and social commentary. Hits like "Ya No Te Esperaré" and "Bailando Solo" capture the essence of their poetic storytelling wrapped in compelling melodies. The album "Música Libre," a tribute to the iconic Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez, reflects the depth of their musical versatility and reverence for Latin American artistic giants. While the band announced an indefinite hiatus in 2014, their legacy endures in the Latin rock scene, as evidenced by their revered catalogue and their energetic live album "Los Bunkers at The Roxy: Gran Reserva Vol 1. (En Vivo)."
