2. A hip-hop group from Puerto Rico.
1. Los Miserables is a well-known Chilean punk rock band formed in the early 1990s shortly after the demise of the military regime of Augusto Pinochet. The band is known for its songs charged with strong left-wing political ideas and anti-establishment commentary. The band has clearly presented itself as actvist in its work with major participation in political events, international charity concerts, human rights events, and volunteer work in impoverished Chilean communities. The band has modeled itself in some ways after the famed Chilean band Los Prisioneros, who left a void after their initial break-up in 1990. Their albums can be found in Chile, Latin America, and the United States.
This band achieved major success in Chile in the mid 1990s, and is well known in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. They have recorded 8 albums, including three live albums, and received gold records in Chile. The band has also contributed songs to major Chilean movie soundtracks - including the main song for the Chilean film El Leyton, a film by famed director Gonzalo Justiniano, of the films B-Happy (2003), Amnesia (1994), and Caluga o Menta (1990). They have also performed in tribute albums to Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, and Los Prisioneros.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hay que meterse al rodeo no retroceder jamas!
Un pueblo que canta no morirᠪamas
Gargantas poderosas no se van a ahogar
La soga en nuestro cuello
No por siempre estara
Riamosnos con ganas que vamos a triunfar,
Riamosnos con ganas que vamos a triunfar
Alerta las guerrillas
Que vamos a avanzar
En Chiapas, Nicaragua,
Colombia y muchos mas
Las calles de tu pueblo
Se van a liberar
Toma tu carabina y lanzate a pelear.
Gora herria, viva el pueblo (x 4).
Cuando se acerca el momento
De la ofensiva final
A la calle todo el pueblo, a poner su grano de maiz
The lyrics to Los Miserables's song Gora Herria are a call to action against tyranny and oppression. The song encourages people to stand up and fight for their rights against the tyrannical regime and their national guard. The singers suggest that they can only win by being brave and not giving in. They emphasise the importance of singing and the strength of their voices. They believe that they will win if they remain optimistic and laugh, as it will give them the strength to continue. The song encourages people to unite and fight together, as one force. The chorus of the song 'Gora herria, viva el pueblo' means 'Long live the people!'
Moreover, the lyrics also reference the guerrilla movements in countries like Nicaragua, Colombia, and Chiapas in Mexico. They urge people to take up arms and join these guerrilla groups to bring about change. They suggest that the streets of their towns and cities will be liberated and that the people will be victorious. The lyrics - 'Toma tu carabina y lanzate a pelear' mean 'Take your rifle and throw yourself into battle.' The people are encouraged to join the revolution, which will lead to their liberation.
