Gutofer - Las Locas ‐ Brazilian Psychedelic Rock/Poetry Activism - (1985)

ARE KIDNAPPING, TORTURE, AND MURDER ACTS OF SERVICE?

WE DEMAND THE APPEARANCE ALIVE OF THE DISAPPEARED DETAINEES AND THE TRIAL OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE.

THE DIGNITY OF MAN DEMANDS IT.

"Las Madres", or "Las Locas de La Plaza de Mayo", as well as chamam in Argentina. In 1976 I had a tinham name. They grouped together from the moment that Hebe Bonafini, an operator's wife, living in La Plata, left her household chores and began a desperate investigation to discover the son of Jorge Omar, kidnapped by agents of two security agencies of the military regime installed in 1976.

Jorge Omar is still alive for 35 years. Continue submerged. Um irmão seu also foi seqüestrado. Later, Maria Helena, north of Hebe, has an identical fate.

Hebe Bonafini began to find himself with others in "Plaza de Mayo". Logo received first surname: "Las Locas". Now it's simply "The Mothers."

The years of terror will not intimidate us. In silent walks, maintaining Indian file, surrounding the country houses or the Government Palace, demanding only physical presence to return two kidnapped people. Later, as the regime deteriorated, "Las Madres" sang hynes and shouted choruses, always in the fifths and always in the "Plaza de Mayo."

BIOGRAPHICAL DATA OF THE COMPOSER

Paulo Sérgio Leite Fernandes is a criminal lawyer in São Paulo. His life has many facets. Federal Council of the Order of Advogados of Brazil and member of the Penitentiary Council of the State of São Paulo, has written several books. Actively participate in the fight for the restoration of human rights in Brazil. Chegou o tempo, meanwhile, em que isto não lhe bastou. Então, fez verses. Transformou-os in music, always concerned with the socio-political aspect of the message. The poem "Las Locas", or "The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo", and also a speech by a lawyer. The ancient troubadours, singing, accuse feudais senors and communicate the sufferings of the people. Modern lawyers also need freedom. A toga and a scholarship should really be libertarian clothing, never limiting instruments of cultural experience. Many jurists tend to accuse creativity. Receiam divert-se two alfar-rabies. Esquecem-se de que o direito y historia. This is always a romance. Neste, em etemo conflito, contracenam a liberdade e o power. Paulo Sérgio, singing, concretizes the conflict between the two, tells a story and unfolds the tragic romance of the struggle of women's frays against terror.
