Víctor Jara
Bad Bunny kicked off his 2026 world tour with a moving tribute to late Chilean protest singer Víctor Jara during a concert at Estadio Nacional in Santiago on January 11. The performance featured an instrumental rendition of Jara's anthem 'El Derecho de Vivir en Paz,' drawing the crowd into a collective sing-along. The venue, once a site of detention and torture under Augusto Pinochet's regime, added profound historical weight to the moment.

Minister Paola Plaza indicted former military officer Pedro Barrientos as the perpetrator of the kidnapping and murder of Víctor Jara and Littré Quiroga in 1973. Deported from the United States in 2023, Barrientos now faces proceedings that could lead to a sentence. The victims' families' lawyer anticipates penalties proportional to the crimes' severity.
