On November 19, 1970 a bomb exploded in my hands. What is the mathematical probability of surviving to tell the tale?" Asks Mr. Juan José Cabezas. In 1973, Pepe Vázquez was rehearsing a ballet of Victor Jara when brought arrested to the Estadio Nacional de Chile. "We were put a gun to our head and made us sing. They didn't know that I was free with music". "I always behaved well, I was the pastor's son, until I realized and I said: I must do something", says the Evangelical Pastor Ruben Arthur.
