A folklorist who was also a talented singer and songwriter, Parra's love of music started with her family: Her father was a professor of music, while her seamstress mother also played and sang. Parra's family overflowed with talent; thanks to encouragement from her brother, noted poet Nicanor Parra, Violeta went on a song-finding expedition in the '50s that kick-started her love for folkloric music. As she began recording, she helped bring Chilean folkloric music to the public forum. She also wrote and sang songs that helped a nation in transition find itself, and later in her life she also discovered talents for painting and weaving. Tragically, she killed herself in 1967. - Sarah BardeenCantautoren720Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:02:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.50720&rws=%2Fvioleta-parra%2Fdiscography.rss Violeta Parra epitomized the hopefulness of the 1950s and '60s in Latin America.
