Ali Ibrahim “Farka” Touré (October 31, 1939 – March 6, 2006) was a Malian singer and guitarist, and one of the African continent’s most internationally renowned musicians. His music is widely regarded as representing a point of intersection of traditional Malian music and its North American cousin, the blues. The belief that the latter is historically derived from the former is reflected in Martin Scorsese’s often quoted characterization of Touré’s tradition as constituting "the DNA of the blues". Touré was ranked number 76 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."

Ali İbrahim Touré, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın sürdüğü 1939 yılında Mali’nin Timbutku bölgesinin ücra bir köyünde Sorhai’li, on çocuklu, bir ailenin en ufak çocuğu olarak dünyaya geldi. Ne yazık ki diğer dokuz çocuk bebeklikten öteye geçemedi ve aralarında hayatta kalan sadece kendisi oldu. Hayata olan bu bağlılığı, inatçılık ve azim olarak gören aile lideri, Ali İbrahim Touré’ye “eşek” anlamına gelen “Farka” lakabını taktı. Asil bir aileye doğan Ali “Farka” Touré (AFT) Mali kültürüne göre müzik ile uğraşamazdı. Müzik ile sadece profesyonel müzisyen ailenin üyeleri uğraşabilirdi. Ancak lakabına uygun olarak tam bir “inatçı eşek” olan sanatçı, on yaşında merak sardığı gitar sayesinde müziğe bulaştı. Gelenekselliğe inanan ailesi tarafından dışlanan sanatçı, bunu pek umursamayıp ruhunun aç olduğu yönde ilerlemeye karar verdi.

Munir Bashir (Arabic: منير بشير‎, Syriac: ܡܘܢܝܪ ܒܫܝܪ) (1930 – September 28,1997) was one of the most famous musicians in the Middle East during the 20th century and was considered to be the supreme master of the Arab maqamat scale system.
He created different styles of the Arabian short scaled lute, the oud. He was one of the first Arabian instrumentalists known to Europe and America. Bashir’s music is distinguished by a novel style of improvisation that reflects his study of Indian and European tonal art in addition to oriental forms.

Despite not being an ethnic Arab, Munir played a big role in Arab culture throughout the 20th century. Born in Iraq, he had to deal with numerous disruptions of violent coup attempts and multiple wars that the country went through. He would eventually exile to Europe and become noticeble first in eastern nations such as Hungary and Bulgaria.

Omar Bashir was born in 1970 in Budapest, Hungary. He started playing the oud at 5, next to his father, Munir Bashir, the Iraqi virtuoso who first made the oud a solo recital instrument and popularized it in the West. At 7, Omar Bashir joined the Baghdad Music and Ballet School. He would eventually become a teacher there and set up his own band of 24 musicians specializing in traditional Iraqi music. They performed regularly across Egypt, Russia, Turkey and many Arabic countries. Bashir returned to Budapest in 1991 where he joined the Franz Liszt Academy.

Bashir has performed as a solo artist and in duets with his father until Munir Bashir died in 1997 on the eve of a tour of North America. His music mixes traditional Arabic music with a jazz-like improvisation that has earned him comparisons to John MacLaughlin and Al Di Meola.

Víctor Lidio Jara Martínez (September 28, 1932 – September 15, 1973) was a Chilean teacher, theatre director, poet, singer-songwriter, and political activist. A distinguished theatre director, he devoted himself to the development of Chilean theatre, directing a broad array of works from locally produced Chilean plays, to the classics of the world stage, to the experimental work of Ann Jellicoe. Simultaneously he developed in the field of music and played a pivotal role among neo-folkloric artists who established the Nueva Canción Chilena (New Chilean Song) movement which led to a revolution in the popular music of his country under the Salvador Allende government.

Shortly after the U.S. backed September 11, 1973 Chilean coup he was arrested, tortured and ultimately machine gunned to death - his body was later thrown out into the street of a shanty town in Santiago. The contrast between the themes of his songs, on love, peace and social justice and the brutal way in which he was murdered transformed Jara into a symbol of struggle for human rights and justice across Latin America.
