Today Im going to talk about Victor Jara, a chilean artist, he was a musician, teacher and theatre director. He was one of the biggest exponent of the music gender named ''Nueva Canción Chilena''.
He born on September 28, 1932, on Ñuble province. He joined to the military service, and when he finished it, he joined to the Universidad de Chile chorus, then he started to join on different chorus, until he knew Violeta Parra, who cheer up him to continue his musical career. At 27 years old he directed his first stage play. On 1961, he composed his first song, named ''Paloma quiero contarte''. He traveled to many different countries, 2 of them was the U.R.S.S and Cuba, directing the tribute to Pablo Neruda who has won a Nobel.
On 1973, he supported the politic campaing of the Unidad Popular, and he collaborated with Tv shows against the war and facism. At September of this year, Augusto Pinochet started a Military Dictatorship, stealing the power and giving to giving himself the power. On September 11, the same day that we take the power by force, they arrested a lot of teachers and students, and people who was communist. Victor Jara was torturated as the other prisioners, and died on military hands on Semptember 16, 1973. He was important, actually, the stadium where they torturated the people and Victor, was named Victor Jara for what happened here.
If I had the chance to meet him, I would ask him what he would do for change the world, and I would beg him to write more songs and poems.
