...support Furtado in “Bajo Otra Luz,” trading rapid-fire verses until the emergence of the song’s horn-filled chorus. On one of the album’s emotional peaks, tenor Josh Groban brings his beautiful voice to “Silencio,” in which he and Furtado reflect on suffering in the absence of a lover. While the quantity and stature of Furtado’s guests is exciting, the participation of some contributors is unimpressive. On “Como Lluvia,” Juan Luis Guerra...

Instead, the city's thoroughfares were jammed with cars and pedestrians. Bands of government rooters mocked the opposition by roaming through central Santiago shouting "?Silencio! ?Silencio!" In a clever ploy, the government managed to put ample supplies of meat, which has been scarce for several months, in many Santiago shops. Not even residents of wealthier suburbs -who normally would have supported the day of silence-could resist such bait. They turned out to shop, often...
