Daughter of a Music Teacher and a Singer/Guitarist, Violeta Parra was Influenced by her Parents Since Being a Child. At the Age of Nine, She Started Singing and Playing Guitar, Soon Composing Traditional Chilean Music. After Getting Married to Luis Cereceda in 1952, the Singer/Songwriter Began Touring the Country, Assimilating the Natural Charm of her Native Land, which Mostly Inspired her Work. In 1954, Violeta Parra Moved to France, Where the Artist Started Recording her Poetic Songs. When Returning to Chile in 1958, Parra Got Involved in Painting and Sculpture, Extending her Artistic Skills Even More. In 1961, the Singer Returned to Europe, this Time Singing Along with her Daughter Isabel Parra and her Son Angel Parra Being Responsible for Keeping their Mother's Legacy Alive.

CD Reviews

Campesinos

C. Tironi | Santiago de Chile | 08/26/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Este disco, junto a Las Décimas es lo mejor de la Violeta para los amantes del canto campesino auténtico. Especialmente Cantos por Ponderación, Viva la luz de Don Creador y Viva Dios, viva la Vírgen, los que más allá de su contenido religioso tienen por si mismos el valor de usar palabras y modos de tañir la guitarra que se escuchan aún hoy en los campos chilenos.

Una delicia llena de humor, amor, devoción y penar criollo. Tiqui-tiqui-tiiiiii!"

Violeta Parra folk songs from her travels

Deedee | Saratoga, CA USA | 03/25/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cantos Campesinos includes rare songs from the early part of Violeta Parra's career. Violeta traveled throughout the Chilean country side and collected songs composed and sung by campesinos in remote areas of Chile. This is a treasure trove of the Chilean campesino culture as it existed pre-cell phone and pre-television."
