El aparecido ("The appeared", also translated as "The ghost") is a Chilean song originally written and recorded by Víctor Jara which was included in the 1967 album Víctor Jara.
The lyrics tell the story of a man who was persecuted for his political ideologies, often the man in the song is attributed to Che Guevara, an Argentine guerrilla fighter.
[2] Because of this, the Communist Party of Chile criticized Jara, as the party was trying to establish a socialist government via democratic means, and not through armed guerrillas.
