“Last Words of Victor Jara”
A series of interlinked compositions dedicated to the message of Victor Jara’s life. These compositions frame improvisations around the lyrics (in Spanish and English) from some of Victor’s songs.

Victor Jara was a Chilean singer-songwriter, a leading figure in the New Chilean Song movement. He used his music and his public persona to fight for the cause of freedom in his country from the forces of fascism. In September 1973 those fascist forces, backed by the US government, took control of the country, torturing and killing many thousands of people in the process. One of them was Victor Jara.
