Biography

Uruguayan singer/composer and talented guitar player Daniel Viglietti was strongly influenced by his parents, guitarist Cédar Viglietti and pianist Lyda Indart, at a very young age, having his first enriching experience when forming a duet called Los Serranos and later joining a guitarists group known as Lavalleja. In the 1960s, Daniel Viglietti studied at the Uruguayan National Music Conservatory, becoming a guitar soloist. Recognized as a social content songwriter, the musician went into exile during the 1970s due to the controversial political reality in Uruguay. Through his career, the artist had the opportunity to play along with Los Olimareños, José Carbajal, and Alfredo Zitarrosa, creating along with Mario Benedetti a show called A Dos Voces, performed around the world and recorded live in Buenos Aires in 1993. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Daniel Alberto Viglietti Indart (b. 24 July 1939, Montevideo) is 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 or "New Song" of the 1960s and early 1970s.

He founded, in 1971, along with other musicians like José “Pepe” Guerra, Braulio López, the music scholar Coriún Aharonián (the only founding member who is still active), Myriam Dibarboure, María Teresa Sande and Notary Public Edgardo Bello, the recognized independent record label Ayuí/Tacuabé in order to promote and support valuable Uruguayan musical expressions.


He has performed the works of Cuban Nueva Trova stars Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés and Brazil's Chico Buarque and Edu Lobo, 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.[1] 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.[2] However, Viglietti spoke out that his treatment in police custody was much better than what other political prisoners received.[2] He was a peer of the late Chilean poet and folk singer Victor Jara and composer and activist Violeta Parra.
