Los Violadores was a punk rock band from Argentina in the early '80s. Since they started to play, every single member was known by his nickname: Stuka, the Polack, and Pil Trafa. In 1983 the band released their first album, Violadores, followed by 1985's Y Ahora Qué Pasa, Eh? which included their first hit, a song called "Uno Dos Ultraviolento," based on the classic Kubrick movie Clockwork Orange. Fuera de Sector was released in 1986 and Mercado Indio in 1987. Carlos Val teamed up with los Violadores in 1990 to record a live album at Obras Sanitarias, one of the major venues in Argentina. The result was En Vivo y Ruidoso! After Otro Festival de la Exageración came out in 1991, the members of the band started to disagree about important issues, and temporarily broke up in 1992. During this recess, Stuka became the leader of a new band, Stukas en Vuelo, and Pil Trafa introduced Pilsen. They made a comeback in 1995, this time with guitarist Anel Paz and drummer Adrian Blanco. The new lineup recorded Otra Patada en Los Huevos in 1996. The same year, a greatest-hits album appeared under the name of Violadores Histórico. Lead vocalist Pil Trafa (aka Enrique Chalar) died on August 13, 2021 at his home in Lima, Peru after a heart attack. He was 62 years old. ~ Drago Bonacich
