Alfredo Zitarrosa (1936 - 1989)

"A song is nothing more than a sketch of reality; reality speaks to us in a specific language." "I think particularly of the working class; for me, they are the ones who move the world. When we folk singers have the privilege of reaching these people, the least we can do is sing despite everything," Alfredo Zitarrosa. We remember the Uruguayan singer-songwriter on his birthday, through the perspective of Melina Terribili, director of the documentary "Absence of Me, the Exile of Alfredo Zitarrosa," who tells us how, using previously unseen material given to her by the musician's family, she chose to portray the political profile of an artist who impacted her from a very young age.
