This album from 1995 is a masterpiece for those who seek an authentic and moving sound a sonic journey that reflects its time and makes a bold statement.

Released in August 1995, Radio Babilonia opens with its title track a sonic storm that sets the tone with poetic urgency and avant-garde defiance. Songs like Mquina and Crnica del Sur explore inner turmoil and fracture realities, wrapped in melodic brilliance and sharp arrangements. Natteros guitar work shines, especially in tracks like Ella sabe bien and Pasajero de un tren, where a sense of dj vu echoes through the lyrics. Side A closes with the haunting waltz Como una plegaria, evoking blood-stained devotion.

Side B deepens the albums mystique, offering lucid hope through punk anthems like Enemigo del mundo and Fragmentos de m. It culminates in the defiant Cancin rebelde: There is no worse evil than chaining oneself to pain. Traidores channel poetic rage into a powerful, redemptive soundtrack for a disenchanted era.
