Amaro Jamil Jesús Labra Sepúlveda (born 17 September 1958) is a Chilean politician who served as deputy.[1]
Amaro Jamil Jesús Labra Sepúlveda was born in Santiago, Chile, on October 25, 1949. He is the son of Mario Labra Jofré and Julia Sepúlveda Encina.[2] He is married to Pilar Bassa Valenzuela.[2]
Between 1955 and 1964, Labra studied at Liceo Manuel Arriarán Barros. From 1965 to 1967, he attended Saint Rose School. After finishing secondary education, he studied Business Administration at the University of Talca between 1968 and 1970. In 1974, he pursued Engineering studies at the Federico Santa María Technical University.[2]
Professional and artistic career
In 1975, together with his brother Charles, Labra founded a screen-printing workshop in the San Joaquín commune, supported by industrial development programs promoted by the Catholic Church. During this period, he became involved in music and, together with his brother, formed the group Antuauca (Sol Rebelde in Mapudungun). He served as lead vocalist, guitarist, and composer of several early songs.[2]
In 1978, the musical group was renamed Sol y Lluvia. Its repertoire, marked by strong social and political content, became closely associated with cultural resistance to the military dictatorship in Chile.[2]
Between December 1994 and December 2003, Labra served as Director of Communications at the Alerce record label.[2]
