Hello friends!! This time I will write about a person that I admire, about Víctor Jara.
Victor Jara was born in 1932 and he died in 1973. When he was a child he lived in Lonquén, a rural locality near Santiago. His family was poorest and his parents were peasants. He doesn´t study music, but his mother learned him to play the guitar.
He liked folklore, so he integrated the Universidad de Chile´s choir in 1953. He also liked theater, and then he studied acting and theatre direction in this university. He was a complete artist, because he was actor, director and musician. As theatre director he travelled to Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay and Venezuela and as musician he travelled to Holland, France, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Argentina. He also won many awards as musician.
In 1970 he works in the electoral campaign of the Popular Unity. After, he work in poblations as musician and voluntary and he speak against the civil war and fascism.
11 september, 1973: Víctor Jara is captured by the militaries and he is led at Chile´ Stadium. In this place, he is tortured and murdered.
To finish, I think that Víctor Jara is a consistent person, he support poor people and he helped them. He believed in the popular movement, in the equality and freedom.
Víctor Jara will live forever in the heart of the Chilean people!

Hy dear Rodrigo,
ReplyDeleteI also admire Victor Jara, unfortunatly I don't know much of his songs, but the ones y know, are very beautiful, and the topics of what he write are very important.
But, apart of Victor as a musician, he is an example as a person.
