Ana María Miranda Urbina[lower-alpha 1] (born 21 March 1949) is a Chilean musician and political activist. She gained fame during the military dictatorship of Chile, where she participated in various musical collaborations with the armed resistance.

Biography

Ana María Miranda was born on March 21, 1949, to Braulio Miranda and Olga Urbina.[1] She joined the Symphonic Choir of the University of Chile between 1968 and 1970, and studied advertising at the Technical University of the State.

She worked in the Administrative Headquarters in the Ministry of Education during the presidency of Salvador Allende, where she met Sergio Ortega, a fellow musician. She later married[2] and had her only son with him, Chañaral Ortega-Miranda.[3]

After the 1973 Chilean coup, she moved to France, where she recorded several songs in exile, some with the collaboration of Ortega and Claudio Iturra.

She returned to Chile in 1978, and joined the armed resistance in Chile, singing in towns, prisons, and festivals. This is when she collaborated on the album Chile ríe y canta, sang with René Largo Farías, and published her first album, Miranda al Frente, which she dedicated to the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front.[4]

In 1988, she helped found the Dignity and Justice Movement. In 1993, she participated in a show with Sergio Ortega singing La Gran Traición at the Universidad de Chile Theater.[5]

In 2005, two years after the death of Sergio Ortega, she recorded the album Arderá al Viento tu Canción in his honor.[6]

She currently resides in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[7]
