Desaparecidos - Te Amo Camila Vallejo



New 2014 releases will start appearing soon but in the meantime here's another one of my favourites from 2013. punk and politics have long been entwined and it's something that Nebraskan Conor Oberst and his band Desaparecidos do very well. Named after the "disappeared ones," the people who were arrested by various South American military governments and subsequently vanished without trace, the band formed in 2001, broke up in 2002 but reunited a few years ago and have since released several excellent singles.

this, their most recent, was inspired by Chilean student leader Camila Vallejo Dowling ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/oct/08/camila-vallejo-latin-america-revolutionary ).
