that features dozens of other Chilean artists voicing dissent against Piñera. Yet from the video was born another idea: what if they all banded together, quite literally, and recorded a song in solidarity with the people of Chile?
More than 30 Chilean artists gathered to rewrite and record their own vibrant rendition of Jara’s protest anthem, which was released on Sunday night. Featuring vocals from a broad range of artists — including synth-pop queen Francisca Valenzuela, indie rapper Pedropiedra, avant-folklorist Gepe and trap singer Gianluca — the slow-burning fight song reflects the diverse tapestry of sounds that comprise Chilean music.
