Philip David "Phil" Ochs (El Paso, Texas, December 19, 1940 – Far Rockaway, New York City, April 9, 1976) was an American protest singer (or, as he preferred, a topical singer) and songwriter who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice. He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and '70s and released eight albums.

Ochs performed at many political events during the 1960s counterculture era, including anti-Vietnam War and civil rights rallies, student events, and organized labor events over the course of his career, in addition to many concert appearances at such venues as New York City's Town Hall and Carnegie Hall. Politically, Ochs described himself as a "left social democrat" who became an "early revolutionary" after the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago led to a police riot, which had a profound effect on his state of mind.

After years of prolific writing in the 1960s, Ochs's mental stability declined in the 1970s. He eventually succumbed to a number of problems including bipolar disorder and alcoholism, and died by suicide in 1976.

Some of Ochs's major musical influences were Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Bob Gibson, Faron Young, and Merle Haggard. His best-known songs include "I Ain't Marching Anymore", "Changes", "Crucifixion", "Draft Dodger Rag", "Love Me, I'm a Liberal", "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends", "Power and the Glory", "There but for Fortune", and "The War Is Over".

Víctor Jara nasceu há noventa e um anos...

     

Víctor Lidio Jara Martínez (San Ignacio, 28 de septiembre de 1932 - Santiago, 16 de septiembre de 1973) fue un músico, cantautor, profesor, director de teatro, activista político y militante del Partido Comunista de Chile.

La figura de Víctor Jara es un referente internacional de la canción protesta y de cantautor, y uno de los artistas más emblemáticos del movimiento músico-social llamado «Nueva Canción Chilena». Su ideología comunista se refleja en su obra artística, de la que fue pieza central.

Tras el golpe de Estado que derrocó al gobierno de Salvador Allende el 11 de septiembre de 1973, Jara fue detenido por las fuerzas represivas de la dictadura militar recién establecida. Fue torturado y posteriormente asesinado en el antiguo Estadio Chile, que con el retorno de la democracia fue renombrado «estadio Víctor Jara».

Muerte
El golpe de Estado encabezado por el general Augusto Pinochet contra el presidente Salvador Allende, el 11 de septiembre de ese año, lo sorprende en la Universidad Técnica del Estado. Fue detenido junto a profesores y alumnos. Lo llevaron al Estadio Chile (actualmente estadio Víctor Jara, lugar en el que hay una placa en su honor con su último poema), donde permaneció detenido durante cuatro días. Lo torturaron durante horas (entre otras torturas le realizaron quemaduras con cigarrillo y simulacros de fusilamiento), le cortaron los dedos y la lengua, y finalmente el 16 de septiembre lo acribillaron junto al director de la Empresa de Ferrocarriles del Estado. El cuerpo fue encontrado el día 19 del mismo mes con 44 impactos de bala.
Estando preso escribió su último poema y testimonio «Somos cinco mil», también conocido como «Estadio Chile».

Somos cinco mil
en esta pequeña parte de la ciudad.
Somos cinco mil
¿Cuántos seremos en total
en las ciudades y en todo el país?
Solo aquí
diez mil manos siembran
y hacen andar las fábricas.
¡Cuánta humanidad
con hambre, frío, pánico, dolor,
presión moral, terror y locura!

Víctor Jara, «Somos cinco mil»
