Those soldiers backed the military coup of Sept. 11, 1973 that brought an end to the democratically elected government of the socialist Salvador Allende, and ushered in 17 years of dictatorship, the effects of which have profoundly marked Chile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Allende was killed in the presidential palace on the first day of the coup. V\u00edctor was murdered a few days later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">So many years have passed since that Sept. 16, 1973, when V\u00edctor was murdered in Estadio Chile, that I am a bit ambivalent about this long-awaited legal resolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">I could say that \u201cjustice takes its time, but it finally arrives,\u201d an equivalent of \u201cbetter late than never,\u201d but I feel that the huge injustice committed against the singer was also an injustice committed against us all. Against music. Against beauty. Against life itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Hopefully, the murderous deed has been a heavy weight on the collective conscience of the killers and in the conscience of those who ordered his killing (even if it was just the fear of being caught).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">I am a bit shy about the title for this article. I do not want to sound pretentious. I prefer to be called \u201clucky.\u201d Although ours was a short-lived friendship, it was, to me at least, a memorable experience. At the time of his death, we had been planning a theater\/music collaboration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">I first met V\u00edctor when he came to U.C. Berkeley in the late 1960s, touring with Instituto de Teatro de la Universidad de Chile (ITUCH).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">As a student in the Theater Department at Cal, I was assigned to help my touring compatriots. I translated some and I even made it onto the stage, holding up some background banners. Thus, although I was not acting in it, I felt part of the production of \u201cLa Remolienda\u201d (\u201cThe Carousing\u201d). It was my first participation in the Chilean theater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">V\u00edctor had directed it and he also was part of the cast. It is important to point out that, besides being a musician, he had studied theater and had become an accomplished theater director.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Maybe we exchanged a few words in that first encounter, maybe not. But the memory of that experience is very much alive today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">In October of 1972, as soon as my graduate program was over, I went back to Chile. I could not wait any longer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Allende had been elected in 1970. I wanted to be part of the new process!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38466\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-38466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?resize=450%2C337&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?w=819&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?resize=333%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Victor-Jara_02web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">V\u00edctor Jara\u2019s grave in the General Cemetery of Santiago, Chile. The note reads: \u201c\u2018Till Victory!\u201d Courtesy: Lion Hirth\/Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p7\">When I got there, the rumblings about an upcoming military coup were everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Even as Allende was being sworn in, the Chilean oligarchy was already plotting against him, with material and inspirational help of the U.S. Government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Then president Richard Nixon\u2019s Secretary of State Henry Kissinger infamously said: \u201cI don\u2019t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">That naked, disgusting way to interfere in the Chilean democratic process is just one example of the many times that the United States has interfered in the affairs of other countries all over the world. Thus, the current outrage over alleged Russian cyber attacks does not impress me. It is an example of that old proverb about chickens coming home to roost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Early in March of 1973, now in Chile, I run into V\u00edctor Jara again. I had started a theater\/dance group and we rehearsed in the same space where his wife, Joan, taught: the School of Dance of the University of Chile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">I recognized him easily. He was now a famous, beloved singer, a member of the Communist Party, and a defender of the Allende government. His music was profusely heard on the radio. His songs were tender, radical, funny. Because of that, plus the fact that he was from humble origins, he was hated by conservative Chileans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">When I approached him, as he waited for his wife, he was warm and happy to meet \u201canother crazy guy from the theater\u2026because you have to be \u2018a loco\u2019 to choose this profession! Or maybe the profession picked us, right?\u201d Those were his words, as we said goodbye, after exchanging phone numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">A week later, my phone rang. When I asked whom it was, a voice said: \u201cV\u00edctor.\u201d No last name. He noticed my silence and he added: \u201cJara. V\u00edctor Jara.\u201d He invited me to hear him play that night, at La Pe\u00f1a de los Parra, in downtown Santiago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">After the show, we went back to where I was staying, house-sitting for a friend. Once there, we opened a bottle of wine, shared some bread and cheese and talked. And talked\u2026 and talked some more. Music, theater, current events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">About 3:30 a.m., he said: \u201cWhat is good, if short, is twice as good!\u201d I told him that my mother also used that phrase. He said: \u201cThen, your mom is a wise woman!\u201d We laughed. He picked up his guitar and left. We promised to talk again, soon. We now had some creative plans!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Time flew by and the multiple political and musical responsibilities that V\u00edctor had prevented us from meeting again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">The last time I saw him, was on the evening of Sept. 10, 1973. I was getting to a rehearsal with my group. He was leaving with his wife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">As the doors of the elevator were closing, we only had time to say,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cLet\u2019s talk this week! Call me!\u201d\u2014a wave of the hand and that was it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">The next day, the coup happened. That very day, V\u00edctor was arrested in his place of work, the Universidad T\u00e9cnica del Estado. He was taken prisoner to the Estadio Chile, with many students and workers. Once they recognized him, it was the beginning of his end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">On Sept. 16, he was taken to an obscure corner of the Stadium and shot. 44 times. Maybe they feared that he was immortal?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">They were right. After all, we earn immortality with what we do in our lives. V\u00edctor Jara lives in his songs, in our hearts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">If you hear his music, you will also become his friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2026yes, my guitar is a worker shining and smelling of spring my guitar is not for killers greedy for money and power but for the people who labor so that future may flower!
