Notes

  1. ^ Compañero Presidente an unofficial title of respect given to Salvador Allende by his supporters, literally meaning, "Our Comrade President".
  2. ^ Rojo, viz. Red, is a reference to the Communist Party of Chile which was forced underground during the Pinochet years.
  3. ^ This song which appears on some releases peculiarly with the same title as the proceeding song, is another version of a song from another work of Sergio Ortega called La Frague. The song appears as the fifth song of ‘Las Luchas’.
