VĂctorâs music reflects many thingsâŠa love for humanity, his own life experiences and the lives of regular people, the poor, the farmers, the laborers and artists that are often overlooked and forgotten. The people who make the country run, the people most exploited and forgotten among us. VĂctor immortalized not only the archetype of the farmer, the laborer, the peasant but he also immortalized many individuals. Roberto Ahumada, Miguel Ăngel Aguilera, Angelita Huenuman, the people senselessly killed in Puerto Montt in 1968 simply murdered for occupying the land of a rich family in southern Chile or Herminda, the baby killed where a Santiago poblacion named after her was built. These names would sadly be lost to time if it were not for VĂctorâs songs which encourage us to discover who the real people were behind his lyrics.
Manifiesto La luna siempre es muy linda Preguntas por puerto Montt Te recuerdo Amanda Angelita Huenuman Cancion de cuna para un niño vago El lazo Plegaria a un labrador Con el alma llena de banderas Ni chicha ni limonå Herminda de la Victoria El arado Cuando voy al trabajo Vientos de pueblo Que lindo es ser voluntario El derecho de vivir en paz --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anani-kaike/message -
I had a full circle moment recently. It was about this time last year, a cloudy day, drizzling. I was wearing a wool sweater too, not the same one, but similar. I was moody and sad, both days. Last year, that day, I first listened to âManifestoâ, Victor Jara and I will say again, it changed my life. This past year has changed me as a person, and that moment when I first heard that beautiful voice and that guitar, I could feel the change. It was a song that I felt I had heard my entire life, yet a song I had never heard before.
This year, I finally after having known about him for months, actually I first heard listened to Phil Ochs for the first time. And I had a similar reaction to âI ainât marching no moreâ. I was struck by more than Ochsâ voice or the lyrics of the song, I was struck by poignant, relevant and sincere his music was. As I listened to more of his music, I was amazed at just how applicable they are to everything happening now, from US militarism, foreign policy, racism, western liberalism and revolution, all things Ochs sang about. I knew it was significant for me to come upon Ochsâ music at the time I did. I almost regretted that I hadnât found his music just a tiny bit sooner, so I could have played his âLove me, Iâm a liberalâ on my recent show about Western liberalism.Today we will talk about Phil Ochs, his music, how it so perfectly talks about what is happening today and much more.
Songs:
Whatâs That I Hear
Spanish lament
Remember me
Talking Vietnam blues
Talking Cuban crisis
Too many martyrs
The thresher
I ainât marching anymore
Draft dodger rag
Talking Birmingham Jam
Hereâs to the state of Mississippi
There but for fortune
Iâm going to say it now
Ringing of revolution
Santo Domingo
Love me. Im a liberal
Canons of Christianity.
The war is over
Changes
When Iâm Gone

In September of 1970 rightwing Chilean media baron AgustĂn Edwards Eastman traveled to Washington DC to meet with CIA director Richard Helms, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and President Richard Nixon. They discussed plans to overthrow the then newly elected government of Salvador Allende.
This was just one part of the sinister role that Chile's wealthiest and most powerful media baron played in the events of the 11 September 1973.

I was perusing the internet the other day when I came across the music of Spanish pop sensation Niño Bravo and his song âUn Beso y Una Florâ and I absolutely loved his voice and the style of the song, that dramatic 1970âs baroque pop sound. I of course looked him up and found out that one of his most famous songs, âLibreâ, was played while political detainees and political prisoners in Chile were tortured by Pinochetâs regime. Iâll let that sink in for a moment. I was immediately horrified especially when I found out that the song was originally written against Francoâs regime in Spain. So I realized that this song written against fascism was actually hijacked by it. It disturbed me, especially when I actually listened to the song, there was such a crazy contradiction there, this passionate song about freedom and the idea that people were tortured to the sound of it. That really messed with my head. Because I liked the sound of the song, yet I was revolted by the idea of it being used as a fascist anthem and the soundtrack of torture. Naturally this set up a wild contradiction inside of me. So naturally I wrote a story and now I'm reading it for you!

Iâve been running into never ending problems with the western liberals recently, especially about the genocide in Gaza. This election cycle we are being presented with a supposedly democratic choice which is really no choice at all; between a racist, orange menace and maniac, or a genocide enabling geriatric psychopath. And the establishment is calling on us to chose between these two revolting individuals. Meanwhile the western liberals are telling us that we must vote for Biden, the genocide enabler and supporter. I want to unpack all this here today.

The horror in Gaza continues, people are killed by bombs, they are starved to death and massacred as they try to get flour to feed their families. In this time, sometimes we need poetry.
So we take a breath and read some poetry from one of the greatest to ever give us a look inside of the soul and mind of a poet; Pablo Neruda. There are so many lessons to be taken from his poems, so many feelings to be shared and an immense amount of insight!

We are often told that Cuba is an authoritarian, repressive dictatorship. But did anyone ever take a second to ask who really made Cuba a dictatorship? Some will immediately say âFidel Castro made Cuba a dictatorshipâ. Let us consider for a moment that Cuba actually I ts a dictatorship. Now let us ask ourselves WHO made it a dictatorship. Was it Fidel? Was it Batista? Was it the United States interventions and interference? The bay of pigs invasion? The 600 assassination attempts against Fidel? Was it the threat of military invasion? Was it the constant attempts by the CIA to overthrow the government? Was it the worldâs lack of solidarity with the Cuban people? Was it the blockade? Was it the murder of Revolutionary heroes and Cuban citizens? Was it terrorist attacks from the US against the Cuban people? The designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism?

Ok, this may sound silly. This is something you donât know about me, but I love Narnia, C.S. Lewisâ âthe chronicles of Narniaâ, while I will be the first to say there is some problematic language in some of the books, I love those books. The really do communicate something very deep, something bigger than a story of children stumbling into another world. I saw a quote earlier from Mahmoud Darwish that said âif the olive trees knew the hands that planted them their oil would become tearsâ. I thought about thatâŠamidst so much human suffering, nature also suffers, all parts of nature. And then this passage from âthe Last Battleâ, the last book in the series came into my mind, so much so I actually got up and ran to find the book and when I opened the book, I came exactly to the page I was looking for. Thatâs when I knew I needed talk about this! This is going to be a show of a lot of unexpected connections!

Join me today as I continue a series debunking myths and malicious propaganda that seeks to defame the legacy of revolutionary hero, Che Guevara. In this age where fake news can disseminate at lightning speed, and there is a war against education, knowing the truth of our history is essential.
The most often repeated claims about Che Guevara are certainly along the lines of, âhe was a mass murdererâ, âhe killed for sportâ, âhe was known as el Carnicero of la Cabaña (the Butcher of the Cabaña)â, âa sadistic torturerâ among many, many others. Wherever you look, by simply searching his name, mentioning the 4 syllables of his name or invoking his universally recognized image, you will find no scarcity of articles, books, interviews, documentaries, and social media posts announcing that all of this is true, based on the experiences of real Cuban exiles (or their family members in Cuba), and if anyone disagrees they are characterized as insane, uplifting a murderer, how that PragerU video about Che put it; âinto sadistic thug worshipâ, or simply a commie, 17-year-old-socialist or a stupid college kid. The many claims can become overwhelming. Then thereâs people on the other side, the left with often the best of intentions, defending Che from all of this. Unfortunately these arguments can be riddled with fallacies, and sometimes entirely miss the point. The response âbut it was a revolution, people dieâ is not an acceptable response to the claims that Guevara was a murderer. So today, we ask where the truth is in all of this.

Illapu has a song called Sobreviviendo, it's an anti-war song and it has a line that says "no puedo olvidarme de Hiroshima" and recently they changed that line to "no puedo olvidarme de Palestina". Illapu has always remained consistent in the content and quality of their music. Over the past 52 years, Illapu has documented the horrors of dictatorship, the desaparecidos, they have sung for memory, or simply a better future, Illapu is a voice of the people and they are true revolutionary artists.
