“FOR Chileans, Sept. 11, 1973 was the day the music died.
The long, narrow South American country, home to this capital of 5.5 million, once was an international center for Latin pop music, with groups in the vanguard of the rock en español revolution and the New Song movement, a politically charged folk revival then sweeping Latin America.
Then came Chiles 9/11. Gen. Augusto Pinochet overthrew the Socialist government of Salvador Allende, whose populist ideals had galvanized artists. Thousands were killed, including singer-songwriter Víctor Jara, the Chilean Bob Dylan. Thousands more went into exile.”
