Romance is the second album by Chilean metal band Dorso. In this album the band experienced the same elements of the last album that made them famous in the underground scene.

Romance for many is considered one of the most creative of Chilean folk music, stand alongside conceptual works as Pichanga of Congress and even heights of Machu Picchu to Los Jaivas, Cuadra groups they admire.

From their beginnings in 1983 at the Festival de la Canción del Colegio Miguel León Prado to their first limited release album in Chile under the record label "Fusión Producciones", they struggled to make themselves known until they were able to sign with EMI Records in 1985, re-releasing their first album on LP record and cassette. From that point on, they reached mainstream success in Chile, then in Peru. Los Prisioneros created a simple punk sound with a mix of rockabilly, reggae, and then rock pop and synthpop.
