Socialist Music Daily - 8 - Spanish - El pueblo unido jamás será vencido (The people united will never be defeated) sung live by Manuel García

Whenever I stumble across a song I like on youtube I download it into my personal music folder, I started this practice more than 4 years ago and I accumulated a large amount of socialist music from very niche spaces, spanning across a wide variety of languages. Because I see that nobody else is doing this specific thing on this site, I feel compelled to share this collection track by track, maybe it will lead to someone else also feeling the same inspiration that I felt when first listening to it.


My favorite version of the song, sung live where the crowd was integrated into the song, giving it the energy it deserves.

The song was made shortly before the overthrow of Salvador Allende in Chile, the songwriters had to live in exile during Pinochet's dictatorship and only returned after his reign was over. Meanwhile their song grew to outstanding popularity.
