Víctor Jara’s “Te Recuerdo Amanda”

Posted on 07/09/202107/09/2021 by Carla Seidl

New on GlobeSongs this week is the lovely Chilean folk song “Te Recuerdo Amanda,” by Víctor Jara, which I first heard while studying abroad in Santiago, Chile in 2002. Did you know that former military dictator Augusto Pinochet, in whose 1973 coup Jara and many others were murdered, was at that time living as a free man in Santiago, not far from my host family’s house? He died in 2006 without having been convicted for his crimes. Watch the episode to learn more about the history of this song.
