Still Fighting For Justice For How He Was Killed - Blog Posts

LIKE.. ugh i cried HELLO??? theyre beautiful it all started cuz one day I was like hm… I wonder what Chilean music sounds like and I’m more drawn to older songs including more traditional kinds first I discovered was Quilapayún then through them I discovered Víctor Jara who I’m STILL hyperfixating on I know a load of his songs and studied his life and his impact and even watched a documentary on him and how his wife and daughters were still fighting for justice for how he was killed I’m still so mad that he’s dead he was the coolest ever and then through him I discovered Violeta Parra took me a while to really check her out tho cuz while I admired her at first the shrillness of her voice hurt my ears but now I love it there’s just something very Real and authentic about her voice her daughter has a really great voice too I also discovered Inti Illimani and Illapu and Chamel they all sound insanely fantastic and oh my god chamal has this chorus type of singing in it and their voices mesh together so so well hearing thems perfect audio stim for me I’m so upset that the nueva cancion period ended so painfully FUCK THE CIA FUCK PINOCHET FUCK THEM ALL speaking of them!! my bf had an old friend in school who’s dad was victimized to their torture!! burn in hell they all must burn idk I haven’t told my bf about this it’s not that I think he’ll judge me I’m just very self conscious of my more uncommon hyperfixations and special interests….. listening to the more upbeat nueva cancion music always puts a smile on my face and makes me wanna dance I’ve listened to other Latin American music too including Peruvian Argentinian Columbian Mexican and Bolivian just briefly though but Latino music is just so fucking gorgeous I’ve always loved it
