The Spanish group Dynamic duo, known to be the authors of the song “I will resist”, used their Twitter account to demand explanations from the Ministry of Education from Chile for the use of the subject in his recent and criticized campaign for the return to classes.
“Yes, they should have asked permission to at least change the lyrics.”, assured the band composed of Manuel de la Calva and Ramón Arcusa, responsible for the success launched in 1988.
The group also spoke of the fact that in the Mineduc act there could be “possible illegalities” and they were surprised that “in a ministry nobody has noticed.”
The campaign, launched by Minister Raúl Figueroa this Thursday and whose cost reached $ 300 million, uses the song “Resistiré” and modifies its lyrics according to its message: return to face-to-face classes.
“Resistiré” was written by Manuel de la Calva and published in 1988. This year he gained notoriety again by becoming the anthem of Spain against the coronavirus pandemic. Despite being uncredited, the song bears enormous similarities to Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” (1978).
Yes, they should have asked permission at least to change the lyrics. It is surprising that in a ministry no one has warned of possible illegalities.
