Hi David,
I deeply and profoundly love him, he is one of the most important
and loved
musicians in my life...
I remember Silvio Rordriguez from Cuba, when he came with Chucho
Valdes and
his group Irakere to Santiago de Chile in 1990 and gave a concert in
that
very same national stadium in which Victor was assassinated
brutally, a
concert which, he declared to nearly 80 thousand people, that he
dedicates to Victor.
I also know that later the stadium was named Victor Jara National
Stadium,
that the widow of Victor, Joan, nowadays struggles for the
declaration of it
as national cultural heritage.

After two decades the dictatorship was over, we are still having
memorials
for those killed by Pinochet.
And we will be for a long time.
For those of you that love his music, this story may be relevant:
