The story behind
The version of De colores (In Colors) found on Joan Baez's album Gracias a la vida, with a duration of 2:29, is placed in a very particular context. Baez released this album in 1974 through A&M Records, and she herself described it as a gesture of encouragement for the Chilean people who were going through a difficult time under the rule of Augusto Pinochet. This release occurred shortly after the death of President Salvador Allende.
The American singer-songwriter, known for her critical stance on her country's foreign policy in Latin America and for her commitment to human rights in the region, included pieces by Chilean authors such as Victor Jara and Violeta Parra on this work. It is important to remember that Victor Jara was a victim of torture and murder following the Coup of State on September 11, 1973. The album, mostly performed in Spanish, also features a song in Catalan.
