Definition

  • Víctor Jara, Chilean songwriter and singer, became one of the most well-known cultural icons of Latin America after his assassination at the Estadio Chile at the hands of the military after the Chilean military coup of September 1973. A supporter of President Salvador Allende, Jara used his musical talents to entertain tired workers and to highlight the difficult social and economic conditions of the Chilean working classes.
