Episode 1: The Folk Music That Terrified Pinochet
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
In September 1973, as Chile’s military seized power, the new regime did more than arrest political opponents — they went after the music.
This episode of Echoes from the Ash Grove explores the rise of Chile’s Nueva Canción movement, from Violeta Parra’s cultural revival to Víctor Jara’s defiant songs, and examines why a dictatorship saw guitars and folk clubs as a threat.
Drawing on a late-1970s Ash Grove radio broadcast, we trace how music became memory, resistance, and political power — and ask whether a song can still be dangerous today.
