It's a protest song against authoritarian governments, it tells the story of a rebel who was hunted down by the authorities, even though he was killed, he inspired others to rise up.

fue una protesta contra el plan cóndor que operó estados unidos

There is a name that is relevant in this song and it is the reason for it VICTOR JARA he was a very representative figure of a social and cultural movement called the Nueva Trova, when the dictatorship was imposed in CHILE and its president was deposed with weapons during the night the Armed Forces were mobilized and they were sent to arrest the political dissidents among them VICTOR JARA along with 12 thousand other people and taken to the soccer stadium in Santiago de CHILE he was murdered in a brutal and barbaric way they cut him off the fingers of his hands and they ripped out his tongue so that he could never sing again while he bled to death and the soldiers laughed he was assassinated this song is a tribute to him and all those who protest in the world

Los fabulosos Cadillacs es una de las bandas mas grandes de aca, Argentina y de LatinoAmerica. Su cantante , Vicentico , tambien hizo una carrera en solista. El tema "Matador " fue una de las canciones mas destacadas en los 90s. Saludos desde Argentina. -

I have always loved this song. I found it on the soundtrack from the John Cusak movie Grosse Point Blank. A really fun movie with a great soundtrack!

Brilliant Argentinean Ska band! The song talks about political oppression in Argentina, and specific mentions the death of singer-songwriter Victor Jara, who was publicly executed in a stadium for his political activism. I saw the band live a few years ago, and they put on an incredible party for such a serious message.

They shot him 44 times to kill him, but they made him eternal. Also they cut both of his hands, and i will never forget that.

Recuerda que el cantante habla del Plan condor

In the context of this song "Matador" is the protagonist's nickname.

Haven't heard this in a long time. Brings back memories.

5:45 He was born in Barracas, which is a neighborhood in Buenos Aires.

Victor Jara, un cantautor CHILENO,,Asesinado, en plena dictadura ,POR EL SOLO ECHO DE PENSAR DISTINTO. Muy respetado Mundialmente,, Saludos desde Argentina.

its a band from Argentina 🇦🇷❤️

Its a song about the victims of genocide and regime change in Latin America by the USA.

Other songs I would recommend by the band are "Manuel Santillán, el León", "El Satánico Dr. Cadillac", "Demasiada Presión" and "Te Tiraré del Altar".

Thanks for paying attention to music from other countries and other times

And if you like them, I would also recommend Argentinean-Spanish band Los Rodriguez, with songs such as "Mucho Mejor", "Sin Documentos", "Para No Olvidar", "Milonga del Marinero y el Capitán" or "Extraño".

Hi!!! Please react to more latin rock!! You wil love "Soda Stereo", the most important latin rock band in history. They are from Argentina. Profugos (live version) or De Música Ligera (live version) Regards from Chile!! :-)

Reacciona a los fabulosos cadillancs el tema padre nuestro

The beginning of the song sounds so familar.

If this doesn't make you move your feet, I don't know what will! Thank you for reading the English lyrics, I was needing subtitles! ;) Nice to see a video with REAL WOMEN and not stick figures.

❤️

Miguel Bose - Corazon Infame. Beautiful song.

I love you

Check out the song Matador by Garland Jeffries…..completely different….

If you're loving this, check out a Latino ska band out of Houston - Los Skarnales. "Bomba '48" is a good start.
