Quilapayun - El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido

The Chilean group formed in 1965 writing lyrics inspired by social issues related to it's country and combining them with autochthonous musical arrangements. In 1966, the band came in first place at the Festival de Festivales, releasing it's first album that same year. Folk singer and songwriter Victor Jara helped the band by promoting Quilapayun's music and making the record Canciones Folkloricas de America together. As Chilean New Song's ambassador, Quilapayun went on it's first European tour in 1968. Due to Chilean political and social changes in the early '70s, the group settled in foreign countries for more than a decade.
