karen jonason songs of Victor Jara (1932-1973) (58* d) RE: songs of Victor Jara 21 Jan 99


The replies to my request for songs of Victor Jara all seem to originate in America. I live in London, England. I am have been involved with folk and world music since childhood, brought up on The Weavers, Joan Baez and Ewan McColl. I have always sung and was fortunate to be at university during the "folk revival" when folk events attracted as large audiences as rock gigs. I carried on listening to folk, buying records and singing through the many years of folk being unfashionable. In England in recent years we've seen the growth in recent years of folk choirs, many of them calling themselves socialist choirs, which sing at political events and have an annual Street Music Festival where all the choirs perform around the town where the festival is located and together in a big concert. This year the festival is in Bradford, Yorkshire. I sing in the Strawberry Thieves Socialist Choir and also at folk clubs in London. If anyone is interested in corresponding, my e-mail address is: karen.jonason@HWLC.ac.uk
