  • Story Text: Some 30,000 people attended a star-studded Saturday (November 8) night concert in Santiago, Chile in honor of former President Salvador Allende.
    Colombian rocker Juanes and Spaniard Miguel Bose headlined the concert to honor the 100th anniversary of Allende's birthday.
    Manuel said he wanted to inspire young people to learn about Allende.
    "It's an honor for us to be here. And to think that all these young people around here are going to read and will get interested in everything (ex-President of Chile Salvador) Allende tried to do in politics. It was a lot. It was cut short in a cunning way, by we-know-who (Dictator Augusto Pinochet)," he said.
    Allende, a democratically-elected socialist, died during the 1973 coup d'etat by military officer Augusto Pinochet, the dictator who ruled the country until 1990.
    The concert lasted five hours and ended with a Miguel Bose, Juanes, Ana Belen, Victor Manuel and Miguel Rios on stage.
    Ismael Serrano and Joaquin Sabina also performed at the concert, held in Santiago's National Stadium.
