Such is the silence because of the martial law, that her voice echoes through the buildings, while people from their windows and balconies are “holding their breath” to the words of her song, until the moment she hits the final note and a wave of applause by dozens of people fills the night and space of a neighborhood under police siege.
The video consists of two scenes of the moment from different angles, one of them being the point of view next to the singer's window.
The soprano is singing a song from a guitar artist called Victor Jara, he was killed by the Pinochet dictatorship (imposed by the CIA back coup). Jara was killed in the most cruel way, the military cuts his hands in a "torture stadium". The song is called “The right to live in peace”. |
