Description |
A benefit concert at Manchester University Students' Union for El Salvador, organised by Radio Farabundo Marti, the clandestine El Salvadorian radio station. In this first part, Meli Antu, the Manchester based Chilean cultural group in exile, perform first and Francisco Carrasco introduces the evening with a message of solidarity for El Salvador and Radio Farabundo Marti. Eduardo Gonzalez from Meli Antu speaks about El Salvador and the country's revolutionary movement FLMN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front). They perform for about 30 minutes before the MC introduces Los Awatinas, a Bolivian band living in France. Michael Vaughan interprets for the Spanish speaking musicians and explains the importance of the wind in their songs. The first set of songs are popular Bolivian songs followed by traditional music of the Aymara people. |
