1. Word used to describe "subversives" (such as liberals, revolutionaries, socialists, intellectuals, homosexuals, union organizers, Protestants, etc.) who were "disappeared" under the brutal military dictatorships of Chile and Argentina. Thousands of these desaparecidos were taken into airplanes and thrown into the sea, but the governments of those afforementioned countries claimed to have no knowledge of their whereabouts.

2. A band on the Saddle Creek label, headed by musician Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, which features more politically-oriented and socialistic thematic elements than the music under the guise of Bright Eyes.
1. It is generally overlooked in most history books, but the government of General Augusto Pinochet, who caused the disappearances of over 3 thousand desaparecidos in Chile, was installed and supported by the United States government and the CIA.

2. Are you going to buy the new Desaparecidos CD this summer?

Get the desaparecidos mug.
One of the best bands in the world, with headman conor oberst, the singer of bright eyes. Desaparecidos uses more guitars and is faster/louder than bright eyes. The songs aren't about emotions, like in bright eyes, but more about political rants. Desaparecidos takes a spin on faux patriotism, and the crappy epidemic that is the current music industry.
desaparecidos >>> you

Brilliant band fronted by Bright Eyes lead singer Conor Oberst, but has a much louder more agressive sound.
