Venceremos (song)

"Venceremos" (pronounced [ben.seɾˈe.mos]) (translated as "We will prevail") was the anthem of the Popular Unity, a left-wing political bloc that brought socialist Salvador Allende to the presidency of Chile in 1970.

The lyrics were written by Claudio Iturra and the music composed by Sergio Ortega.

[2] 'Venceremos' is an example of the Nueva canción movement of Chilean protest music, which had been gaining momentum for much of the previous decade.

This song marks a significant recognition of the political thrust of this movement in its use as a tool of propaganda for the Unidad Popular coalition.

[3] This song has appeared on various official albums, being performed by multiple musical artists.
