Nueva Cancion Poster

Nueva Cancion (New Song) began in Argentina with a man caled Atahualpa Yupanqui whose guitar became its voice, and whose exile became its birth. It began in Chile where Violeta Parra gathered a life of songs and gave them all away. It began as Victor Jara wrote songs to the rhythm of falling canisters of tear gas, on the streets of Santiago. Many of its voices died there, from Pinochet's bullets and from a world's silence. Yet still we hear Victor Jara, audible through the noise of the crowd, "walking, walking. I am looking for a road to continue walking..." The song remains unfinished
