Nice! I did a post about Victor Jara on MoFi a while back, and other people added some other video goodness in the comments there. posted by Abiezer at 2:36 PM on February 18, 2007
Great post! I love this music; I've been listening to it in some form or another since I was a kid, when my Argentinian second grade teacher would sing these songs to us (he was really just singing to impress our gorgeous first-grade teacher; it worked, and they married when I was in fifth grade). This really brings me back, thanks, serazin.

Hope you have a receipt from whoever sold you that bum tilde. posted by rob511 at 4:25 PM on February 18, 2007
Great post. More people need to hear about Nueva Cancion - esp Victor Jara and his incredible story. Thanks. posted by tiger yang at 6:34 PM on February 18, 2007

I screwed up the enye (or whatever the phonetic spelling is!) Sorry, I was stupidly rushing. Embarrassing! posted by serazin at 8:12 PM on February 18, 2007
