Víctor Jara sang the reality of his people; their past, present and dreams for a better future. His music was deeply political but also deeply human. Today we will be taking a closer look at his 1971 "El Derecho de Vivir en Paz" album and talk a bit about its meaning. As we head into September, we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the U.S. backed military coup that would oust Allende from presidency and take the lives of thousands, including Víctor Jara (a show is coming about that next week). So, it is essential we take this time to commemorate, remember and evoke for justice.
