FAM Victor Jara Today I'm going to talk about FAM festival. The initials mean "Festival de Arte y Memoria", wich in english means festival of art and memory. This festival takes place in the context of the conmemoration of Victor Jara's birthday (the 28th of september) and the dictatorship that took place in our country. After it was a festival, the conmemoration was only the day of Victor's birthday, but this year it was a whole week of music and dancing in memory of this artist and the circumstances in wich he and many other people died, and the legacy they left behind. The festival lasts 1 week, but I only attended to the conmemoration of Victor Jara's birthday, the 28th of september.

I saw many artists that day, there was Manuel García, Pascuala Ilabaca, Intillimani, Elizabeth Morris, Nano Stern...

Other thing I want to do if I go, is swimming a whole day long in the beach and then go for a walk in the city, meeting new people. Also I want to go to the disco to dance, and then wait for the dawn. In spite...
