Bruce performs Victor Jara’s “Manifiesto” in Chile
On Thursday night in Santiago, Bruce performed Victor Jara’s “Manifiesto.” Bruce introduced the song in Spanish, translated by Backstreets to:
“In 1988 we played for Amnesty International in Mendoza, Argentina, but Chile was in our hearts. We met many families of desaparecidos, which had pictures of their loved ones. It was a moment that stays with me forever. A political musician, Victor Jara, remains a great inspiration. It’s a gift to be here and I take it with humbleness.”
