Victor Jara
La Partida ###
On this date, 9/11 1973, the lawful Chilean government was overthrown by the military. Four days later the tortured body of the poet and singer Victor Jara was found outside of the Chile Stadium (Estadio Chile) that was used by the military as detention camp. This beautiful piece shows Jara's fascination with the music of the Andes. So very melancholic, and so very God damn sad that a father that had done nothing but sing should be killed in this horrible way.
