Chilean folk music group: Quilapayún

I discovered them a few months ago and have been listening to them nonstop--mostly the El Pueblo Unido, Jamás Será Vencido (1973-1983) collection. They were forced to go into exile in France after Pinochet's coup. I think they're still around, though I have no idea if any of the original members are still playing. I've since gone down the Nueva canción rabbit hole--so much good shit. Talk about a heavy genre--
Nueva canción musicians often faced censorship, exile, torture, death, or forceful disappearances by the wave of right-wing military dictatorships that swept across Iberian America and the Iberian peninsula in the Cold War era, e.g. in Francoist Spain, Pinochet's Chile, Salazar's Portugal and Videla and Galtieri's Argentina.
