The Argentine rock group, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, remember Víctor Jara in their hit song, "Matador", with the lyrics "Que suenan, son balas me alcanzan, me atrapan, resiste, 'Víctor Jara' no calla... Matador!! Matador!!"

Te estan buscando matador...!!!
Me dicen el matador, naci en barracas
si hablamos de matar mis palabras matan
no hace mucho tiempo que cayo el Leon Santillan
y ahora se que en cualquier momento me la van a dar
ahh matador.. ahh matador.. donde estas matador..
ahh matador...ahh matador
Me dicen el matador me estan buscando
en una fria pension los estoy esperando
agazapado en lo mas oscuro de mi habitacion
fusil en mano, espero mi final
ahh Matador, ahh matador
la cana te busca matador
la cana te prende matador...
matador..!! matador..!!, donde estas matador
matador no te vayas, matador..!! matador..!!,
oh yeah matador..!!, matador..!! matador..!!
Viento de libertad sangre combativa
en los bolsillos del pueblo la vieja herida
de pronto el dia se me hace de noche
Murmullos, corridas aquel golpe en la puerta,
llego la fuerza policial
ahh matador.. ahh matador..
mira hermano en que terminaste
por pelear por un mundo mejor
Que suenan, son balas me alcanzan,
me atrapan resiste, Victor Jara no calla.
Matador..!!, matador..!! matador te esta buscando
matador..!! matador..!! matador te estan matando
oh yeah matador..!!, matador..!! .. valiente matador
Me dicen el matador de los 100 barrios portenos
no tengo por que tener miedo mis palabras son balas
balas de paz, balas de justicia
soy la voz de los que hicieros callar sin razon
por el solo hecho de pensar distinto, ay Dios
Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires si todo estuviera mejor
Matador..!!, matador..!! si todo estuviera mejor
matador..!!, matador..!! a donde vas matador
matador..!! ohh yeah..
matador..!!, matador..!!

My upload. Seems more folks like it than not. It is just a great song for getting into a great mood.

Love the samba styled drums and whistles.

Glad it works for others!

The beginning is just like Paul Simon's Obvious Child.

Both excellent.

Not their best song. El genio del dub is much better.

Thank God for Radio Paradise, the radio where you can hear anything good from anywhere. And Matador is a classic from Latin America. Period.

Thank God you are not a translator. A bit of imagination could turn this group into "The Fab Cads"... Move your shoulders, yeah!!!

What is it with the Latin songs on this station?! I wouldn't mind them once in a while but do I have to hear like 5 during my working hours? Thank God for the mute button.

For the benefit of our non-Spanish speaking listeners, I believe that a rough translation of the band's name is "The Fabulous Cadillacs". Glad I could help.
