In this concert of poetry and song on the eve of the anniversary of September 11, Chile, 1973,

Sydney singer Nadia Piave presents her annual Cancionero concert, remembering the life and songs of the great Victor Jara and his circle. This year's audience is treated to readings from Neruda's most evocative love poetry and the Canto General, and is once again accompanied by an ensemble of fans of the nueva cancion.

A Peña is a meeting place or grouping of musicians or artists. In Chile the term came to mean a popular venue where folk music was played and simple food and drink were available, and it was in the penas of Santiago del Chile in the 1960s that the song form known as Nueva Canción was born. Some of the main exponents of NC were musicians such as Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, and the groups Inti-illimane and Quilapayun. The concept of a Peña is often associated with social justice and grassroots culture.

It is a wonderful truth that things we want most in life-a sense of purpose, happiness and hope-are most easily attained by giving them to others. - Isabel Allende
