Daniel Viglietti (Daniel Alberto Viglietti Indart, Montevideo, Uruguay, 24 … Read Full Bio ↴Daniel Viglietti (Daniel Alberto Viglietti Indart, Montevideo, Uruguay, 24 July 1939 – 30 October 2017) was an Uruguayan folk singer, guitarist, composer, and political activist. He is one of the main exponents of Uruguayan popular song and also of the Nueva Canción of the 1960s and early 1970s.
He founded, in 1971, the recognized independent record label Ayuí/Tacuabé in order to promote and support valuable Uruguayan musical expressions, along with other musicians like José "Pepe" Guerra, Braulio López, Coriún Aharonián, Myriam Dibarboure, María Teresa Sande and Edgardo Bello,
He has performed the works of Cuban Nueva Trova stars Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés and Brazil's Chico Buarque and Edu Lobo and has worked with Cuban composer and arranger Leo Brouwer. His recordings are widely available, especially "Trópicos" (1972).
Viglietti was imprisoned in 1972 by his own government. He was supported by the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre as an international man of conscience, a voice for peace, and an opponent of the fascism and tyranny that plagued South America in the 1970s. Rumors about possible mistreatment against him forced the authorities to bring him out in front of television cameras to show that, in particular, his hands were fine. However, Viglietti spoke out that his treatment in police custody was much better than what other political prisoners received. He was a peer of the late Chilean poet and folk singer Victor Jara and composer and activist Violeta Parra.

Cielito de los muchachos
Daniel Viglietti Lyrics
Están cambiando los tiempos
Para bien o para mal para mal o para bien
Nada va a quedar igual
Cielito, cielo que sí
Con muchachos dondequiera
Mientras no haya libertad
Se aplaza la primavera
Los tiempos están cambiando
Están cambiando, qué bueno
Siempre el mundo será ancho
Pero ya no será ajeno
Cielito, cielo, cielito
Cielito a la descubierta
Las botas del miedo pasan
Por una calle desierta
Cielito, cielo, qué joven
Está el cielo en rebeldía
Qué verde viene la lluvia
Qué joven la puntería
Se pone joven el tiempo
Y acepta del tiempo el reto
Qué suerte que el tiempo joven
Le falte al tiempo el respeto
Están cambiando los tiempos
Con muchachos dondequiera
Está el cielo en rebeldía
Qué verde viene la lluvia
Qué joven la puntería
Para bien o para mal para mal o para bien
Nada va a quedar igual
Cielito, cielo que sí
Con muchachos dondequiera
Mientras no haya libertad
Se aplaza la primavera
Los tiempos están cambiando
Siempre el mundo será ancho
Pero ya no será ajeno
Cielito, cielo, cielito
Cielito a la descubierta
Las botas del miedo pasan
Por una calle desierta
Cielito, cielo, qué joven
Está el cielo en rebeldía
Qué verde viene la lluvia
Qué joven la puntería
Se pone joven el tiempo
Y acepta del tiempo el reto
Qué suerte que el tiempo joven
Le falte al tiempo el respeto
Están cambiando los tiempos
Con muchachos dondequiera
Está el cielo en rebeldía
Qué verde viene la lluvia
Qué joven la puntería
