DESAPARICIONES by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

 Before we listen to the song, let’s learn a little about it. “Desapariciones” is a song by Rubén Blades, a singer from Panama. He wrote it in the 1980s.

At that time, some countries in Latin America had military governments. During those years, many people were taken by the authorities and never seen again. Their families did not know where they were or what happened to them.

In the song, different people are looking for someone they love: a son, a husband, or a friend. They ask questions and try to find answers.
