	Violeta Parra: Cantos Campesinos
		Violeta del Carmen Parra-Sandoval was born October 14, 1917 in San Carlos, a small town in southern Chile, to the school teacher Nicanor Parra and the rural seamstress Clarisa Sandoval.
		Violeta and her brother Eduardo helped the family by singing and acting in trains, restaurants, and circuses, often creating the costumes themselves (sometimes out of paper).
		Violeta's experiences as a traveler made her a savior of the old traditional songs almost forgotten, and a creator of a new contemporary movement that, though based in tradition, projected itself to new musical landscapes and revitalized poetry.

	Sophia A. McClennen: "Chilex: The Economy of Transnational Media Culture" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Violeta Parra, the renowned musician of the Chilean people, is a prime example of the export of Chile's political culture to the transnational marketplace.
		Violeta Parra's music typifies the case of political music, which is positioned outside the realm of high art, and which has been appropriated by the music industry in the neatly packaged form of World Music.
		Violeta has not only become a member of the literary canon; she has also become the (posthumous) songwriter for musicians and a source of their success.

		Violeta Parra was someone who for the first time linked the music to the problems of people.
		Violeta Parra also was the first folklorist who I believe took folklore further, she in fact invented rhythms and freely incorporated new instruments.
		For example she played the Venezuelan cuatro, which is not from our culture, and the Bolivian charango, and therefore she gave us a model, which was very important and used by other musicians, to create and invent a different music, learning from the music of Latin America.

		A multifaceted artist—musician, poet, painter, tapestry embroiderer, sculptress, potter—Violeta Parra immersed herself in the folklore of Chile, initially in her home region of Chillán, Southern Chile, then in the Santiago Province, and ultimately throughout the length of the country.
		Like Jara's "El lazo," Violeta Parra's own songs may draw on natural contexts: "Rin [a Chilean rhythm] del angelito" (1964-65) depicts the joyous atmosphere of a Chilean wake for a dead child—a subject that also drew Victor Jara to compose a song ("Despedimiento del angelito" ["Farewell of the Little Angel"]).
		On the other hand, Parra's music may be highly satirical, as in "Qué dirá el Santo Padre?" (What will the pope say?) The Chilean writer Fernando Alegría comments that Parra first cries out here against injustice, then appeals to the pope to make a statement on these conditions—yet he remains silent throughout the song.

		Isabel's voice has a more "singerly" quality to it, which is fine for some songs, whereas with Violeta, I always get an impression more of viscera than vocal chords, which strikes me as more suitable on those particular songs; you really get a feeling of her emotion in her singing.
		From all accounts, Violeta was not the easiest person to live with; she was intensely passionate in all things, and did not take it well if she felt that others' responses were not equally intense.
		In her excellent book, "El libro mayor de Violeta Parra", a mix of documentary information and letters as well as biography, she mentions only that Violeta killed herself with a gunshot on February 7, 1967.

		She was a chilean folk songwriter and farmer song compiler, and she traveled around the world showing her work in '50s and mid '60s.
		More of important folk bands (protest songs) of later '60s and '70s were inspired by Violeta.
		You'll see the distance and the nearness between both, and how Los Jaivas has honor and yield tribute to Violeta, re-inventing all songs in a way of amazing beautiful and complexity music, a musical maturity, as that guys (up) told you.
