Description |
Concert at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in solidarity with the Nicaraguan people which includes performances by Frankie Armstrong, Leon Russelson, Roy Bailey and Inti Illiman. This part of the concert includes performances by Frankie Armstrong, Leon Russelson and Roy Bailey on stage together. They sing eight songs, including their first song dedicated to the women of the disappeared called 'A woman has disappeared in Chile'. The concert is followed by a resolution by Manchester City Council to support the Nicaraguan people, and Rosario Antuness addresses the audience in Spanish, translated by Michael Vaughan, with a message of peace and the desire to keep freedom alive at whatever cost, having gained freedom through five years of revolution and now great transformations. Then a speaker on behalf of Manchester Central America Solidarity Campaign gives an account of her recent visit to Nicaragua, where the people have absolutely nothing but have given so much. |
