Music in time of chilean dictatorship

In the time of Chilean dictatorship, I think there were a lots of people, persons with a real conviction that the thinks that they were living at that time was terrible and unhappiness; there were conscious that the freedom that they have to had  before they have had lost. So, despite of that, there were enough sensible and creative to manage that mix of artistic power and theirs rage against the system and the dictatorial state that was oppress them. The music was a way to lead all those kind of sorrow and feeling in a central point: to show the people`s unhappiness and the letters of the songs said that. Some bands or singers were rigorously punished or persecuted only because they were encouraged to say things that were happening in the country. They were valiant to say they were thinking in a different way of the regimen. Exempla of this are many: Inti llimani, Victor Jara, Illapu, and others. Of course there had to go away, to find a safe place to live and make music and to survive at the fire arm; some of them, sadly, were tortured and assassinated, they didn`t escape alive. Nevertheless, the music that they give up us, has transcended and today is heard in different contexts, different people who admire them.
