Quilapayun (which means 'seven beards' in the language of the Chilean Indians) was Chile's most famous folk song group, which was formed in July 1965. Working with Victor Jara, Chile's finest folksinger and songwriter, they led a growing New Chilean Song movement, moving from songs reflecting a newly awakened national identity to songs that were part of a political process, the growing opposition to the politics of reaction and exploitation, and they became great supporters of the coalition government of President Allende, the Unidad Popular. Immediately following the coup of September 11, 1973, in which the government of President Allende was overthrown, Victor Jara was imprisoned in the Santiago boxing stadium; his hands were broken, and he was machine-gunned to death. Joan Jara (centre), his widow, toured with the group and spoke of her life with Victor; she also performed.Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest itemCopyright StatusUniversity copyrightConditions of Use and ReproductionCopyright owned by University of Melbourne Archives.
