Sara Lee Guthrie & Caitlin Stubbs - 'Victor Jara'

Live at The Pavilion Theatre, Brighton, 2nd October, 2011, performing a song written by Caitlin's grandfather (Adrian Mitchell) and Sara Lee's father (Arlo Guthrie). This gentle collision of musical ancestry was a happy coincidence, and Caitlin and Sara Lee had only one brief rehearsal together in the dressing room before this performance.

What a wonderful song. What wonderful people. Sarah Lee, Caitlin, Arlo, Adrian, and, of course, Victor-meaningful people. Meaningful and beautiful songs will never disappear. They will continue to inspire us (or at least me and those like me). Long live the Struggle!

Este es un hermoso y armonioso homenaje para nuestro compatriota Víctor Jara. Saludos desde un país indolente y miserable llamado “chile” arrodillado ante la riqueza de unos pocos y las armas cargadas, para ser disparadas una vez más contra su propio pueblo. Algún día podremos recomponer nuestra confianza, pero sería como una estrella fugaz. Gracias Woody Guthrie (Poeta Norteamericano y mata facista con su guitarra y poesía) por ser el padre de Arlo Guthrie que junto a Adrian Mitchell compusieron esta canción. Gracias Sara Lee Guthrie & Caitlin Stubbs por permitirnos honrar su recuerdo y valentía en tiempos de Aniquilar y Desaparecer la voz y verdad de un pueblo sometido a la voluntad imperialista de EEUU (Nixon y Kissinger) confabulados con la corte subyugada de latinoamerica toda..!!! (acción CONDOR)..malditos todos.. y hoy nuestro país gobernardo por EL GRAN INFILTRADO (voto por el NO y se dice que es un chileno de CLASE MEDIA posicionado en el 4to. lugar de los más ricos de su país) llamado chile ).... VICTOR JARA de CHILE Vivió como una estrella fugaz Luchó por el pueblo de Chile Con sus canciones y su guitarra Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Víctor Jara era un campesino Trabajaba desde los pocos años Se sentaba en el arado de su padre Y miraba cómo se desplegaba la tierra Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Ahora cuando los vecinos tenían una boda O uno de sus hijos murió Su madre cantó toda la noche para ellos Con Víctor a su lado Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos fuertes Creció para ser un luchador Contra los males de la gente Escuchó su dolor y alegría Y los convirtió en canciones Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Cantó sobre los mineros del cobre Y los que trabajaban la tierra Cantó sobre los trabajadores de la fábrica Y ellos sabían que él era su hombre Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes.. También es posible escuchar esta versión, un poco más fuerte en donde se describe crudamente el tormento y la masacre a la que fue sometido por nuestros "valientes soldados" o más bien "traidores torturadores" . Hizo campaña por Allende Trabajando día y noche Cantó "Toma la mano de tu hermano Sabes que el futuro comienza hoy" Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos fuertes Luego los generales tomaron Chile Arrestaron a Víctor y luego lo enjaularon en un estadio Con cinco mil hombres asustados Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Víctor estaba en el estadio Su voz era valiente y fuerte Y cantó para sus compañeros de prisión Hasta que los guardias interrumpieron su canción Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Le rompieron los huesos de ambas manos Lo golpearon en la cabeza Lo desgarraron con descargas eléctricas Y luego lo mataron a tiros Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes Ahora los generales gobiernan Chile y los británicos tienen su agradecimiento porque gobiernan con Hawker Hunters Y gobiernan con los tanques Chieftain Sus manos eran suaves, sus manos eran fuertes

Victor vive!!!! Great song, very powerful. Gracias

[@mccellen]

Just Beautiful...brings me to tears...saw Woody and Arlo when I was a young teenager at Belle Isle Park in Detroit...still love the Guthrie family after all these years...

[@ulpana]

Pete got to live and sing longer than Woody or Victor, Z"L! We know what ya mean, though! Belle Isle in my imagi-nation from Dylan's lovely song, wherever that wispy evocative tune came from or went... Keep on lovin, singin, doin Mitch Ritter\Paradigm Sifters, Shifters and Song Chasers Lay-Low Studios, Ore-Wa Media Discussion List PS - Fewer people got to know Jack Hardy or the Songwriters' Exchange he hosted for many formative years in Greenwich Village. I was there one night minding the stove the skillet of pasta oil sizzling peppers and bottles of dark musty port while the gestating songs being workshopped carried on in a circle (see the documentary of Suzanne Vega for a scene in that chilly then warm cold water flat, the 5-floor walk-up with toilet down the hall at 178 W. Houston....Jack himself work-shopped this one that takes a few steps from U.S. nortenos learning who Victor and Joan Jara were and wha' happened while we took our eyes and other good senses off of Washington's back rooms and those Dulles Brothers with Uncle Miltie Friedman were cooking up weaponized Neo-Liberal E-CON-omics to keep us all in terror...Jack called this song "I Oughta Know" with a wink and generational nod of "So it goes..." to Adrian Mitchell and Arlo writing this memorializing eulogy for Victor Jara!

Beautiful!!!

[@colibriceleste1]

GRACIAS!!

[@beamit27]

Such an emotional night! Your grandad would've loved to have seen/heard you both sing this Caitlin. Is there a way this could be sent to Mandy, Manuela and Joan? I'm sure they'd really appreciate it and they'd be shocked by how grown up you are now! Xx Ps. Sara Lee is absolutely amazing too.

[@999dvn]

Victor Jara was a peasant He worked from a few years old He sat upon his father's plow And watched the earth unfold His hands were gentle, his hands were strong Now when the neighbors had a wedding Or one of their children died His mother sang all night for them With Victor by her side His hands were gentle, his hands were strong He grew up to be a fighter Against the people's wrongs He listened to their grief and joy And turned them into songs His hands were gentle, his hands were strong He sang about the copper miners And those who worked the land He sang about the factory workers And they knew he was their man His hands were gentle, his hands were strong He campaigned for Allende Working night and day He sang "Take hold of your brothers hand You know the future begins today" His hands were gentle, his hands were strong Then the generals seized Chile They arrested Victor then They caged him in a stadium With five-thousand frightened men His hands were gentle, his hands were strong Victor stood in the stadium His voice was brave and strong And he sang for his fellow prisoners Till the guards cut short his song His hands were gentle, his hands were strong They broke the bones in both his hands They beat him on the head They tore him with electric shocks And then they shot him dead His hands were gentle, his hands were strong

Great song ;)

[@televitor]

no sé quién es la señorita rubia que canta ( me parece que se llama Caitlin Stubbs), pero percibí una profunda emoción en ella que me emocionó a mi, y también el hecho de pensar que alguién que canta en otro idioma y vive tan lejos conozca y sienta tan profundamente la musica y la historia de victor jara...realmente conmovedor, les agradezco tanto sentimiento en esta canción...thank you very much...

Que temas es ?

[@bjorkstrand7773]

part of the song is from desolation row, a little bit of blagary

[@rayhoward8188]

LOVE IT NICE ONE GIRLS❤ ,RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K

[@rugbyslug]

yes!

[@TheFloripano]

I wish I had been there! I first heard this song on a Radio 2 folk special about the time it came out - I assume in the Arlo Guthrie original. I had not heard it since till this video. Lovely coming together of two strands. My only problem with the tune is that the first line keeps taking me off to Desolation Row. But then, perhaps that is quite appropriate...

[@tjpieraccini]

Can you believe I never noticed your comment before? Sorry not to respond at the time. If you had been there we'd probably have some cracking photos...

[@peaceandleisure3105]

one of the greatest political songs. one of the US's most ignominious interventions (and that's a bar far too goddamned high).
