Thank you very much, dear friends. It's great to get your support!!! :-D

Latin American culture and music is certainly one that I enjoy watching and listening most to. Although I do not know the language, the passion and emotion in them is amplifying. Thank you so much for bringing our attention to such a great artist of Chile. His music is beautiful and his voice is calming. Words cannot describe how I feel when I read the part about what happened to him in the end. It is so depressing that people can do such an atrocious act of torture and murder to protect their own interests :'( May his soul rest in peace.

Victor said in his last poetry : "One dead, another beaten as I could never have believed
a human being could be beaten
". It's the same with him, such kind of end of life is unbelievable. It is a horror!!!

Thank you for reading and letting me know your thoughts!

You are right, it is horror indeed. But I am happy his legacy lives on for the sacrifices he made, and with Steemians like yourself who took the time to research and write about him and reliving his cause. Thank you @ylich. I wish you a good coming weekend :)

Thank you for sharing this post and letting us to have a glance into your country history. I can remember the time in 60-70's from my husband's description when many Chilean students were studying in East Berlin, he is himself German. But also I remember the time when Chile was overruled by military dictatorship for about 16 years.

But of course what I remember too is the beautiful music and guitar accompanied songs, although I could not understand the texts but it was no need for that. You could hear the voice and emotions were transmitted through them. The love to country, to will to be free and finally to have peace. Thank you for sharing these beautiful songs :)

It was really awful!!!

I had there so many Chilean friends and I listened all the horror stories that lived their relatives. I cried with them the murder of Salvador Allende, Victor Jara and many relatives of them.

Then those songs became songs of rejection of violence and death, of denunciation, but above all of hope and faith. That's why they are so important to me.

Thanks for coming by and commenting! ;-)

Music is so powerful, it does more than just entertainment, it sends strong messages and Victor and others during his time did use the power of music to send his message. It just so sad that has to die in that manner, 44 shots? Life must have been really tough for them back then...

Haven't heard much about Latin American's music history, but this was sure a great read...
