Travelogue Media takes a moment to remember the life of the slain folk singer Victor Jara. Jara was one of the first victims of General Agosto Pinchet's brutal military regime in Chile (1973-1990).

**UPDATE** Pablo Albufom, the author of one of the articles discussed in this episode, was recently featured in Jacobin's podcast to discuss the situation in Chile. Listen here: https://pca.st/ursg0xpp
