Pete Seeger (1919-2014) was an American singer, musician, and activist renowned worldwide. Born in New York to a family of artists, Seeger distinguished himself for his powerful voice and social commitment. He began his career in the 1930s with folk groups like The Almanac Singers, promoting themes of social justice and fighting against injustices. During the 1950s, Seeger became a symbol of American folk music, influencing generations of artists with his direct and engaging style. His most famous song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", became an anthem for peace and against war. He also contributed to the birth of the environmental movement in the 1960s with songs like "If I Had a Hammer". Seeger was often criticized for his political views during the Cold War but remained an icon of American folk music until his death in 2014. Among his most important albums are "American Industrial Ballads" (1956) and "Rainbow Race" (1963). Some of his most representative songs are: "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer", "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Guantanamera".
