>>>For those who actually do 'give a toss' for human rights and the re-emergence of trad music in Latin America, this tour ought to serve as a reminder that it is approaching 34 years since Pinochet's thugs murdered Victor Jara in Santiago's stadium, stifled the New Chilean Song Movement and forced many exponents, including the famed bands Quilapayun and Inti Illimani, into exile.<<< Oh right...so are they now to be accused of being uncaring, self-absorbed musicians who don't give a damn, simply because YOU have deemed it so? Sheesh!!
