@Olivier5,
On your other link, a poster said that --

After a brutal public beating in which his hands were broken with a rifle butt, a solder taunted: “sing now you son of a __.” Jara struggled to his feet and sang a verse of “We Shall Succeed.” He was taken out of the stadium and found dead the next day, a victim of machine gun fire. The story of his beating, and death transformed him from activist and artist to myth and martyr. Jara died at the age of 35, having lived a rich and remarkable life. His legacy of scholarship, music, poetry, and social commitment alone assures his place in Chilean history. The Pinochet govt’s efforts to break his spirit and silence him failed. Jara’s last act of defiance made him an international symbol of human rights, courage, and a part of the political consciousness of Latin America and the world and we still sing his songs."
Thus my wow.
I also like his voice. My liking voices is sort of personal and not what musicians might appreciate. My liking is what I take as spoken to me, perhaps reminding me of other voices.
