"El Aparecido" literally means "the one who appeared".

Composed by Victor Jara, a fighter whose bullets are his songs, for his friend and Comandante... Commander Che Guevarra. Performed by the world-renowned group Inti-Illimani.

Victor Lidio Jara Martinez was a Chilean teacher, theater director, poet, singer-songwriter and political activist. He sang about the joys and the struggle of the Chilean masses.

Shortly after the U.S.-backed September 11, 1973 Chilean coup he was arrested. The fascists made sure that Victor Jara won't be able to play music anymore... They crushed the bones in his fingers before torturing him with unimaginable barbaric methods and then finally, ruthlessly riddled him with machine gun-fire. His body was later thrown out into the street of a shanty town in Santiago.

May Victor Jara's legacy of music continue to blossom! El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido! (The people UNITED will NEVER be defeated!)

  • Many, many THANKS!

  • Los de las capas negras son los ex-integrantes de Quilapayun, que despues de muchos años de estar fuera del grupo se reunieron para reclamar el nombre. De estos ex-integrantes, algunos viven en chile, otros en francia y otro en bégica, y son conocidos en "el mundillo artístico" como los Quilapayún "chilenos" o "históricos". Es más o menos lo mismo que pasa con Inti-illimani; en este video está el grupo que se creó el 2004 con varios ex-integrantes y es conocido como "histórico".

  • Los de la capa negra que tu dices es Quilapayun,los otros son Inti - Illimani que grabaron esta cancion que escribio el gran Victor Jara que fue asesinado por la Dictadura en 1973,les recomiendo que busquen La Partida,esta la original de Victor Jara y la version que grabo Inti -Illimani,excelente musica.

  • las voces suenan de lujo, Me encanta como suena este cover... Díganme como se llama el grupo de los que tienen capa negra...

  • wow!!!
