Viglietti - Tropicos (Political song from Uruguay, 1974)



Daniel Viglietti (1939) is a very popular and politically committed artist from Uruguay. He experienced jail in 1972 due to his socialist views and had to exile during military dictatorship (1973-84), which led him to travel worldwide denouncing uruguayan situation with his songs.

This LP has been recorded in Barcelona and includes Chappotin as trumpet player. First track is a cover from a brazilian artist (Edu Lobo) and the following is a radical and poetic protest song based on a Bertold Brecht poem.
