Sinergia (Synergy) is the self-titled debut studio album released by Chilean rock band Sinergia,^[2] independently in 2001 consisting of 12 tracks; by Sello Azul label in 2002 consisting of 13 tracks^[3] and by La Oreja label in 2003 consisting of 14 tracks and 3 music videos for the singles "Chilerobot", "Concurso" and "Mujer Robusta". The album was produced by Andrés Godoy, father of the band's drummer Bruno "Brunanza" Godoy.^[3]

The songs "Chupatrón" and "Santiago U.S.A." are originally from their demo album "Apoyando La Demencia", this time with an intro song for "Chupatrón".^[4]

The music video for the single "Mujer Robusta" reached the number one position in the ranking "Los 10 + Pedidos" (The 10 Most Requested Videos) of the South American MTV channel, and the song "Marina" is a "pajaron^{[note 1]} hymn", which is mainly the spirit of the band and his fans (who are called "pajarones"),^[5] the song's about how a young guy falls madly in love with a girl called Marina and thinks that studying is the best way to get her attention but that doesn't help him at all in getting the courage to talk to her and tell her how he feels.^[6]

The songs "Mujer Robusta", "Amor Alternativo", "Marina", "Concurso", "Chupatrón" and "Chilerobot" are in the recently released 22 Éxitos Pajarones, a compilation album celebrating the band's 22nd anniversary.^[7]
