[UEF]

Over on the James's Favourite Vinyl thread, I mentioned that James recommended Victor Jara's Manifesto Chile September 1973 album - the one that's not on Spotify.



I found a copy on eBay for a tenner, and it's a really enjoyable listen within the context of Even in Exile.

On there you've got La Partida, as covered by JDB

It's also got the song 'Cuando voy al trabajo' with a spoken section by Joan Jara, with obvious references made in Without Knowing the End (Joan's Song) years later:

On my way to work
I think of you,
through the streets of the city
I think of you.
When I look at the faces
through steamy windows
not knowing who they are, where they're going,
I think of you
compañera of my life
and of the future,
of the bitter hours and the happiness
of being alive,
working at the beginning of a story
without knowing the end.

When the day's work is over
and the evening comes
throwing its shadow
over the roofs we have built,
returning from our labour,
discussing among friends,
reasoning out things

of this time and destiny,
I think of you, my love,
compañera of my life and of the future.

When I come home, you are there,
and we weave our dreams together ...
Working at the beginning of a story
without knowing the end.
