About We Are Sudamerican Rockers

"We are sudamerican rockers" is a Spanish-language song by Chilean rock band Los Prisioneros, from the album La Cultura de la Basura. It came out into airplay as a single in 1987. In 1993 MTV Latin America began its airplay with "We are sudamerican rockers". The word sudamerican is a mock Anglicisation of the Spanish word for South Americans, which is the very similar sudamericanos. The lyrics of the song start with "Son hermosos ruidos que salen de las tiendas, atraviesan a la gente y les mueven los pies. .." and then includes a call to Elvis in a mix of Spanish, English and French: "¡Elvis! sacúdete en tu cripta / We are South American rockers / Nous sommes rockers sudaméricains / No nos acompleja revolver los estilos." more »
