El Derecho De Vivir En Paz
Context
El derecho de vivir en paz is a protest song against the US intervention in the Vietnam War, and is a tribute to Ho Chi Minh. During its recording in the RCA Studios in Santiago, several musicians collaborated, including Patricio Castillo, Celso Garrido-Lecca, Inti Illimani and Los Blops.
It later became a symbol of protest against Chile’s military dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet, and an anthem for the 2019–2022 Chilean protests.
Jara was arrested by the Chilean military shortly after the 11 September 1973 coup led by Augusto Pinochet, which overthrew Allende. He was tortured during interrogations and ultimately shot dead, and his body was thrown out on the street of a shantytown in Santiago. The contrast between the themes of his songs, which focused on love, peace, and social justice, and his murder, transformed Jara into a “potent symbol of struggle for human rights and justice” for those killed during the Pinochet regime.
