Jackson Browneand Paul brady also performed a version of this together (live); except it was opposite. Browne sang while Brady played spanish-style guitar. it was even better than this (though its hard to believe that's possible)
Good song. I am a Canadian dating a Salvadorian man here in Canada. He grew up in El Salvador during the civil war. He showed me this song and told me about the war. I am thankful I grew up in Canada and never had to go through what he went through as a child
we were never beaten and we were never ruled. June 1 2009 historic day of freedom and reivindication, we are free at last. No nos derrotaron, ni nos vencieron, 1 de junio del 2009 dia historico de libertad y reivindicacion, somos libres al fin. VIVA EL SALVADOR.
@LucioCappellaro We are not free, sorry to break it to you, but the USA owns us and Honduras, and Guatemala. FLMN cannot do anything, Englands is on our arse too, and Mexico sells us cheap crap, we are far, very far from being free, I hope I can see it in my lifetime.

Two very.....very......over glorified artists. If you want to be worshiped in the music world, simply be anti establishment; these two proved that goes a long ways with the leftists in this world.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes Yes Of course you have to be anti establishment and leftist to know that the people killed by the military in El Salvador did not deserve to die. Of course I'm sure too the Oscar Romero was a damn commie that deserved to die and not be remembered!
Of course the didn't "deserve" to die....but neither did the tens of millions of people gunned/starved and beaten to death under the guise of the "socialist" movement. Where were/has all of the artistans of the peace movement been on this front? How many heatrfelt pieces have been written or performed by the likes of Baez/Browne over the killings brought on by the insurgant groups or over events stemming from the early 1930s leftists push? You see, these two are taking a POLITICAL stance.
Actually listen to baez's song china and you'll know. Joan Baez is hispanic and Browne worked extensively for relief in latinamerica inthe 80's. So this song wasn't made to push a left wing agenda, it was humanitarian
Baez's song "China" was about Tiananmen Square NOT Mao; there is a huge difference. Browne's efforts regarding Latin America in the '80s was supportive of the leftists. It is an ideological thing with these two, as has been the case with many of America's "socially responsible" songwritiers. There can't be any dispute about this. If you're ideology is decisively liberal/leftwing (in modern venacular), you applaud them; if it isn't, you don't.
As an aside, Baez was born in NYC; one parent was Scottish, the other of Mexican descent. She's hispanic to the extent that part of her blood line dicatates. More germane to her works during her life, her family was steeped in leftwing politics. Joan's entire life is a poster of the modern era Western culture liberal/radical/leftist. She's on the far left of the spectrum on every issue and it is reflected in her work.
If you read a little about the civil wars in latin america in the 80's you'll know how much the right wingers screwed up. the people that ruled latinamerica were fascists not conservatives. And even if it was ideological, i mean this just proves they are not hypocrites they sing what they believe in
Just got this link from terigower to that strong, emotional song and that one alone refers to martial law in Poland, in the 80's when Solidarity people demanding freedom od speech got either inprisoned, lost their jobs, couldnt travel inside or outside Poland or lost their lives brutally murdered on the hand of secret police.
Joan Baez was a singer of Polish democratic underground movement in the 70's too.
hermosa cancion, ahora hay q pelear por ser felices, dejar atras lo malo, sin importar el color, creencia que no haya diferencias por el amor a nuestro querido pulgarcito paz y amor.....................
This song just made me cry. My mind's still set to the times prior to the civil war in my country. The war that stole the golden years of my childhood. Joan Baez's song couldn't express better the sitaution in my country. Thanks highcoaster75!

Having been born and raised in El Salvador, but exiled to a far away land a long time ago I can say that this song sends chills down my spine. Change is coming to my beautiful, beaten, raped and humilliated motherland (elections next year and the FMLN will win). There will be justice, there will be joy and there is HOPE. "Think of the ones taken hard in the hills, they can be beaten but they can never be ruled". VIVA EL SALVADOR!!!!
BTW, If anyone wants to follow-up on this time in history, the CIA files have been declassified and there is a lot of info on Youtube regarding the war in Central America during the 1970's through the 198o's.
I have been a Joan Baez fanatic for many years. On her behalf I can say that she will be proud. She has put the cause of Peace and Justice before her personal well-being for a lifetime. Her honesty and consistancy over the years speak of her integrety. She's not angry but pleased. Good work, Highcoaster75.
This was at a time when the American government was supporting a fascist government and death squads in El Salvador. Look up the School of the Americas where the U.S. taught these guys.
A friend of mine, news photographer John Hoagland was murdered there by the Salvadoran military. I met refugees who had to flee the death squads, but the U.S. government would just consider them to be illegals.
A solitary voice that always cried the sufferings of the masses of the oppressed and injustice-governed by politicians that the eagerness of power always explored the least favored by luck,. Thank you for sharing
