Desapariciones(disappearance) is song written by Panamanian singer Rubén Blades (released in 1984).
It’s a song that represents how people feel under a dictatorship, when someone could disappear and you didn’t know if they could ever be back.
It has been covered by Mexican band Maná and Argentinian band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (that altered the song a little bit to sound more “Argentinian”).
It’s amazing to see the contrast between the different versions: the style varies a lot, pronunciations and paces are different, etc.
