Víctor Jara (album)
''Víctor Jara'' is the second solo album by Chilean singer-songwriter Víctor Jara, released in 1967. It continues the ''nueva canción'' (new song) style of politically conscious folk music that he had established with his first solo namesake album, in 1966. The songs of ''Víctor Jara'' change from Jara's earlier autobiographical lyrics to topics of general concern for all of Latin America, growing closer to the style of Violeta Parra. Parra died shortly before the album was released, and Jara, her student and friend, stepped forward to fill the political void. After this album, Jara's subsequent work would become more explicitly political, espousing left-wing activism to advocate or protest specific political issues. The album includes the controversial song, "El aparecido" (The Ghost), which was written about Che Guevara months before the Argentinian revolutionary was killed. The song says, "The crows with golden claws have put a price on his head / how the fury of the rich ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crucified
Crucifixion is a method of capital punishment in which the condemned is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross, beam or stake and left to hang until eventual death. It was used as a punishment by the Achaemenid Empire, Persians, Carthaginians, and Romans, among others. Crucifixion has been used in some countries as recently as the 21st century. The crucifixion of Jesus is central to Christianity and the cross (in Roman Catholicism usually depicted with Jesus nailed to it) is Christianity's preeminent religious symbol. His death is the most prominent example of crucifixion in history, which in turn has led many cultures in the modern world to associate the execution method closely with Jesus and with Christian spirituality. Other figures in Christianity are traditionally believed to have undergone crucifixion as well, including Saint Peter, who was crucified upside-down, and Saint Andrew, who was crucified on an X-shaped cross. Today, limited numbers of Christians voluntarily ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
