Try "Depedro". It's the Spanish band in which the Spanish singer of this song performs. Really good and in the same line as Calexico.

@privasmusic you forgot to mention, why this song is called "Jara's Hands". Thats because Victor Jara continued playing guitar during prision, and the soldiers broke his hands, and told him:
"And now, can you still continue playing?"
