He was a champion of Human Rights in Central and South America. His famous song 'No soy de aqui ni soy de alla'- I'm not from here nor am I from there' is as famous in the Spanish speaking world as fellow Poet and Activist Jose Marti's poem Guantanamera was and made known here by Folk Singer and Activist Pete Seeger.
These are the towering figures that keep Dictatorships and Right Wing and Left Wing Oligarchs on notice. Cabral's voice will be sadly missed.
He sounds like a very caring person. What a beautiful message, 'I'm not from here nor am I from there'...Found that song, and it starts at four minutes, he really does seem to care about what he sings of~

Just beautiful, thanks so much...
was it an accident or political repression?
Glander-
Political repression of some sort, he was murdered.
Very soulful, heartfelt, like earth and heaven reaching to touch each other in his heart. Thank you for sharing. His protest will march on, from a different vantage point.
