about

When experimental artist Mark Harwood was invited to perform a series of shows in Chile and Argentina in October 2019 it was by chance his arrival coincided with Chile’s largest uprising since the end of the dictatorship. This radio show attempts to explain what happened there via a vast array of diverse music, field recordings of the protests and casual conversation with new friends.

Violeta Parra - Que dirá el santo Padre / What will the Holy Father say (1965)

Look how they talk about freedom
When they really deprive us from there
Look how they proclaim tranquility
When we are tormented by authority
What will the holy father say
Who lives in rome
That they are slaughtering him
To his pigeons
Look how they talk to us about paradise
When rains rain like hail
Look at the enthusiasm with the sentence
Knowing that they were killing innocence
What will the holy father say
Who lives in rome
That they are slaughtering him
To his pigeons
He who officiates death as an executioner
Quiet is having your breakfast
Wheat planted
I water with your blood Julian Grimao
What will the holy father say
Who lives in rome
That they are slaughtering him
To his dove
The more injustice, Mr. Prosecutor
More strength my soul has to sing
With this they put the rope around their neck
The sixth commandment has no seal
What will the holy father say
Who lives in rome
That they are slaughtering him
To his dove
