In 1973, the military led a coup d'etat against Chile's democratically elected government and ushered in Augusto Pinochet's brutal dictatorship. One of the first victims was Victor Jara, a protest singer. Together with thousands of radicals, Jara was dragged into an indoor sports arena in Santiago, his arms were smashed and the bones in his fingers systematically broken by soldiers, who then taunted him to play the guitar. Three days later, he was machine gunned to death. Jara's music – a poetic nueva canción that borrowed from indigenous Chilean folk – seem like a gentle and stately response to fascism. But, behind Jara's pretty tenor voice, there's a fearlessness that can still lift the hairs on the back of your neck.
