'They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)' appears on the 1987 album 'Nothing Like The Sun'. The track, which was about the Cueca, a dance that the "Mothers of the Disappeared" used to do to remember their missing loved ones was banned in Chile and had the ignominy of being the first Sting solo single not to chart in the UK. Despite this it remains one of Sting's most enduring and powerful songs and one of his most overtly political. The track features both Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton on guitar and featured on the 1987 world tour, and has been played on occasion since - often in latin countries. The B-side of all versions of the UK single included a Spanish version of the track 'Ellan Danzan Solas' and the 12" and CD singles also included a Spanish language version of 'We'll Be Together'.
