Some Moving Moments, Lots Of Dead Weight. .......2007-01-03

In Latin America the past is alive and vibrant, music, poetry and folklore keep the memory alive of titanic figures such as Fidel Castro, Simon Bolivar, Che Guevara and Salvador Allende. So it is no surprise that we have a tribue album to Allende, the elected president of Chile who was murdered during a vicious September 11, 1973 coup lead by general Augusto Pinochet who became the country's dictator and inaugurated a reign of terror and oppression for almost 20 years. The result is a work with a lot of emotional truth, some moving moments, but a lot of dead weight. Most of the material contributed is by Angel Parra, who obviously admires Allende deeply and feels for his country's long night of totalitarism, but he's strongest contribution are actually the lyrics he wrote for a featured rap song titled "Allende Presidente" which with fiery prose describes the national feeling in Chile by many that Allende's presidency was a time of revolution and hope dashed by the evil mechanisms of capitalist wolves lead by the Nixon White House and CIA (there is strong evidence that Nixon and Henry Kissinger sponsored the coup). The song even features a wink at Chilean composer Victor Jara with the inclusion of lyrics from his famous "El Aparecido," a song written upon the occasion of Che's sudden appearance in Bolivia in the 60s. The rest of the album drags with some Parra compositions that feel like quiet illuminations and nothing more, he has a few wonderful moments of folkish reflection that allow us to feel Chilean music. Another valuable feature of this CD is the complete speech Salvador Allende broadcasted on Chilean radio with Pinochet's warplanes bombing the presidential palace in the background. It is a moving, powerful testament to the spirit of Allende as he praises the workers of his country and promises that the long night of injustice will one day pass. The best song on the album is Victor Jara's "Manifiesto," a moving piece full of atmosphere and beauty. Jara was an activist singer in Chile who was tortured and killed by Pinochet's men soon after the coup took place. "Venceremos" is not the tribute album Salvador Allende deserves, for a better example of how to acknowledge a martyr I recommend "El Che Vive," but it has some material worth checking out, at least to join in the dissident chorus that demands change not just in Chile, but everywhere.
