The recent successful rescue of the 33 miners trapped under the earth in Northern Chile is one of those rare stories nowadays. It's rare in the sense that a story covered in mainstream media focused on things like cooperation, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. This is in direct opposition to the usual fare - fear, desperation and doom. It's just nice to have a story to feel positive about without any reservations. The good guys actually won this time. Let's enjoy this moment before the movie goes into production and the books are written...
This track by Chilean-folk legends Quilapayún is dedicated to those who survived this ordeal with dignity and strength and to my Chilean friends around the world who feel an enormous sense of pride.
The title of the song is quite fitting - it translates to "The People United Will Never Be Defeated." Enjoy.
