El Viaje - A Road Trip into Chile's Musical Heritage

In EL VIAJE, Rodrigo Gonzalez, bassist of the German punk rock band DIE ÄRZTE, travels to Chile in the footsteps of his childhood music. In 1974, when he was six years old, he fled with his family from Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship to Hamburg. The protest music of the "Nueva Cancion Chilena", which Rod's childhood continued to influence in Germany, became the soundtrack of an entire generation that went on the streets for human rights and against the dictatorship in Chile. Today - half a life later - Rod returns to his home country, but above all to his musical roots. His goal is to record an album with the Chilean protest singers of the sixties and seventies and their musical heirs of today. With the musicians Macha of the bands Chico Trujillo, Alonso Nuñez, Camila Moreno, Eduardo Carasco, Eduardo Yañez, Mauricio Castillo
