Best Chilean

 Well today I have to talk about some Chilean, that i believe that is important to me or for the country. I find it really hard to pick just one character of Chilean history as there are too many people who gave us a good example with some of their actions. To be honest if there is someone i admire is to each of the members of my family, but the task of the teacher is to talk about a public figure so i decided to talk about a man,  he was singer, who was killed days after the military coup of 1973. I talk about Victor Jara, he was a multifaceted man who performed various trades, such as  theater director, a researcher of folklore and indigenous instruments, actor, playwright and librettist, but reached the highest significance as a composer and singer. however this time i will focus on a specific event, where Victor Jara helped poor people. 
  Between the late 60s and early 70s, in the western sector of Santiago. Many poor economically people, did not have a home to live. It was a period of intense social demands, some families resort to actions outside the legal basesas, are the land invasions, to achieve a place in which live, these land invasions experiencing explosive growth, reaching more than 300 land grabs. One of the most important land invasions were those that gave rise to the population, Herminda of Victoria (named for the murder of a child due to a stray bullet from the police) in March 1967, in this site I currently live (at that time was called "Barrancas" now called Cerro Navia). Well I talk about this topic because this man, Victor Jara, although it had a good reputation as an artist at the time, humbly helped in building many of the houses in that sector. Really i consider admirable his actions, because it is difficult in these days, seeing people (artists) that appear in the mass media, selflessly, help the most needy so directly. 
  Although the years pass, I feel that the memory of Victor Jara never be erased from that place, because he let a song for this population, which makes me very nostalgic, because when i hear this song I remember the stories of my grandfather when he get to live to these places, but hey here I leave the link of a video so they can see and understand the context of what I am talking about in this post.
