SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 18 — Gen. Augusto Pinochet and the Chilean military were so intent on eliminating all traces of the leftist singer and songwriter Victor Jara that torturing and then executing him was not enough to satisfy them when they seized power in 1973. For added measure, they also had master tapes of Jara's recordings and concert appearances destroyed.

A generation later, though, Chile is experiencing a full-fledged Victor Jara revival, or "resurrection," as the head of his former record label prefers to call it. Not only have Jara's remixed and remastered recordings recently been reissued in a sleek CD box set and his sheet music republished, but he is also the focus of a documentary available on DVD, a pair of tribute albums and a music festival here this month. ://mail.union.org.
