Songs for the revolution: Víctor Jara and his universal legacy
Santiago, Chile – September 5, 1972. The day before, nearly 8% of Chile’s 10 million citizens had celebrated the second anniversary of President Salvador Allende’s election victory. On this day, the Communist Youth of Chile (JJCC) was kicking off its seventh annual congress in the old parliament building in downtown Santiago with delegations from 38 countries. The JJCC’s central committee had been recently expanded to 80 members, and now included composer Isabel Parra (daughter of Violeta, also a composer); Eduardo Carrasco (of the Quilapayún musical group); and singer-songwriter Víctor Jara, who had just released his La población [The People] album with the Dicap label (established in 1968 by the JJCC).
Jara had been a communist activist since the late 1950s, when he was taking acting classes at the University of Chile’s Experimental Theater and playing with the Cuncumén folk group. Many of Chile’s leading intellectuals had flocked to the communist party at the time: poets Pablo Neruda and Juvencio Valle; novelist Francisco Coloane; symphony conductor Armando Carvajal; soprano Blanca Hauser; actors Roberto Parada and María Maluenda; choreographer Patricio Bunster; and theater director Pedro de la Barra.

Quilapayún
Chilean folk music group
Quilapayún (Spanish pronunciation:[kilapaˈʝun]) are a folk music group from Chile and among the longest lasting and most influential ambassadors of the Nueva Canción Chilena movement and genre. Formed during the mid-1960s, the group became inseparable with the revolution that occurred in the popular music of the country under the Popular Unity Government of Salvador Allende.
Since its formation and during its forty-year history – both in Chile and during its lengthy period of exile in France – the group has seen modifications to its personnel lineup and the subject and content of its work. Controversy regarding irreconcilable differences with the current and former group directors led to the division into two distinctive Quilapayún ensembles; one in Chile (Quilapayún-Histórico) and one in France (Quilapayún-France).
History
[edit]Quilapayún originated in 1965 when Julio Numhauser and the brothers Julio and Eduardo Carrasco formed a folk music trio, which they simply called "the three bearded men" (viz. Quila-Payún) in the Mapuche language (viz. Mapudungun – the language of the people native to the region that is now the south of Chile, the Araucanians).[1] Their first public performances were at
