Subject: RE: songs of Victor Jara
Only a few short weeks after the military coup and the first mass murders,the great chilean poet Pablo Neruda died .His funeral cortege became the first act of civil disobedience when hundreds follwed his coffin singing songs of defiance and resistance while the military butchers stared at them with weapons ready to fire. Pinochet......torturer,mass killer and a thief of state. Huw
