Joan Baez & Jackson Browne - El Salvador video free download
El Salvador(performed by Joan Baez & Jackson Browne from her album Speaking of Dreams,1989)
Now that the city is dreaming, viva the pale moonlight
Take to your bibles, take to your beds, now that nothing seems right
National Guards who they pay by the week are gonna clash in the curfew tonight
With Los companeros born in the war, from Warsaw to San Salvador
A voice from the past comes a callin`, saying hold every strong heart dear
These are the days when it seems like there`s nothing but newspapers, order,
fear
Praise to the ones who are burried gone, and to the brave hearts who just
disappeared
Los companeros, born in the war, from Belfast to San Salvador
Whad`a you got to do to get through
They`re deaf as a graveyard
What does Nicaragua say to you?
Think of the midnight, silver & black, think if the sun can be fooled
Think of the four sisters shot in the back for running a land reform school
Think of the ones taken hard in the hills, they can be beaten but they can
never be ruled
Los Companeros, born in the war, viva El Salvador
El Salvador (G. Copeland)

Jackson Browneand Paul brady also performed a version of this together (live); except it was opposite. Browne sang while Brady played spanish-style guitar. it was even better than this (though its hard to believe that's possible)12 years ago

Good song. I am a Canadian dating a Salvadorian man here in Canada. He grew up in El Salvador during the civil war. He showed me this song and told me about the war. I am thankful I grew up in Canada and never had to go through what he went through as a child13 years ago

If you read a little about the civil wars in latin america in the 80's you'll know how much the right wingers screwed up. the people that ruled latinamerica were fascists not conservatives. And even if it was ideological, i mean this just proves they are not hypocrites they sing what they believe in14 years ago

As an aside, Baez was born in NYC; one parent was Scottish, the other of Mexican descent. She's hispanic to the extent that part of her blood line dicatates. More germane to her works during her life, her family was steeped in leftwing politics. Joan's entire life is a poster of the modern era Western culture liberal/radical/leftist. She's on the far left of the spectrum on every issue and it is reflected in her work.14 years ago

Baez's song "China" was about Tiananmen Square NOT Mao; there is a huge difference. Browne's efforts regarding Latin America in the '80s was supportive of the leftists. It is an ideological thing with these two, as has been the case with many of America's "socially responsible" songwritiers. There can't be any dispute about this. If you're ideology is decisively liberal/leftwing (in modern venacular), you applaud them; if it isn't, you don't.14 years ago

Actually listen to baez's song china and you'll know. Joan Baez is hispanic and Browne worked extensively for relief in latinamerica inthe 80's. So this song wasn't made to push a left wing agenda, it was humanitarian14 years ago

Of course the didn't "deserve" to die....but neither did the tens of millions of people gunned/starved and beaten to death under the guise of the "socialist" movement. Where were/has all of the artistans of the peace movement been on this front? How many heatrfelt pieces have been written or performed by the likes of Baez/Browne over the killings brought on by the insurgant groups or over events stemming from the early 1930s leftists push? You see, these two are taking a POLITICAL stance.Related Videos
