González y Los Asistentes, a Chilean rock band, was founded in 1997 in Santiago
de Chile by poet and musician Gonzalo Henríquez. The group's style blends
recited poetry influenced by Beat Generation figures like Allen Ginsberg and
Jack Kerouac with traditional Chilean poetry and the rock music of artists such
as Tom Waits and Nick Cave. Their debut album, Cerrado con llave, was released
in 2001. In 2003, they released their second studio album, Repite conmigo. The
band began collaborating with poet Raúl Zurita in 2008, leading to the creation
of the album Desiertos de amor (2011)...
