“Esta canción le habla al pasado de Chile -la memoria, las heridas,
la deuda histórica a un pueblo, el maltrato- pero también le habla al futuro.
Un futuro resiliente, fuerte, luminoso, que crece, evoluciona, transforma,
desde los desiertos del norte a los glaciares del sur.”
– Francisca Valenzuela
Escrita hace casi un año para “La Fortaleza“, próxima producción de la cantautora chilena, “Al Final del Mundo” presagia un momento actual donde ” la patria duele y el pueblo duele, y reitera como la historia y la memoria… aunque duelan, son importantes de recordar para no repetir e ir sanando.” – Francisca Valenzuela
Llena de simbolismos y pedazos de Chile: su geografía, su poesía al transformar el emblemático “Me gusta cuando callas” de Pablo Neruda por
“Me gusta cuando hablas”, aludiendo al valor de alzar la voz, de hacer ruido, este tema busca la reconciliación a través de la introspección.

“AL FINAL DEL MUNDO”
Francisca Valenzuela pays homage to Chile in collaboration with Claudio Parra
“This song speaks to Chile’s past – its memory, its wounds, its historical debt to a people, abuse – but it also speaks to the future. A resilient, strong, bright future that grows, evolves and transforms, from the northern deserts to the southern glaciers. “
– Francisca Valenzuela
“Al Final Del Mundo” was written by Francisca Valenzuela and recorded in collaboration
with the renowned pianist and keyboardist Claudio Parra, from the legendary Chilean band, Los Jaivas,
who played the piano in this emotional song that invites us to reflect on how you can love a place,
even if it hurts deeply.
Written almost a year ago for “La Fortaleza”, the upcoming production of the Chilean singer-songwriter,
“At the End of the World” foreshadows a current moment where “the country hurts and the people hurt, and reiterates how history and memory… although they hurt,
are important to remind us not to repeat but instead reminds us to heal. “- Francisca Valenzuela
Full of symbols and pieces of Chile: its geography, its poetry when transforming the emblematic
“I like it when you shut up” by Pablo Neruda for
“I like it when you speak,” referring to the importance of raising your voice, of making noise…
This song seeks reconciliation through introspection.
