| Paratext Text | En el cas de Victor Jara, famós cantant xilè assassinat per les forces de Pinochet després del cop d'estat al govern de Salvador Allende, la guitarra ha estat l'instruemtn. En el cas irlandesos - l'enemic va matat poetes i arpistes a munts - l'instrument ha estat l'arpa. Sempra le mateixa brutalitat! Sempre la mateixa mentida! |
| Notes | The poem explores links between Irish and Chilean oppression due to foreign invasions and take-overs. Irish harpers were often killed and maimed by the English invaders to stifle aspects of Irish culture. Victor Jara, a guitarist, musician, teacher, activist, and supporter of the socialist President of Chile, Allende, was tortured and killed by followers of the dictator Pinochet in Chile, after the 1973 right-wing CIA-assisted coup of Chile. |
