Violeta Parra

Today I write about one famous Chilean I admire, this post is about Violeta Parra, she is the most important female singer-songwriter of Chile and Latin America, and she is also recognized for being a painter, sculptress, she embroidered and this work took her to appear in the Louvre. She also carried out numerous other activities. She is the author of the song “Gracias a la vida”, one of the most famous Latin American song and that has been versioned by many international artists, because it’s considered as a deeply human and universal work, and it’s a humanist hymn! I admire her because, she worked hard to rescue Chilean folklore and somehow, she did it. What I know about her it’s because they teach it to us in school and in other circumstances, she is very important for our culture. I know that his life was hard, she is the sister of another great artist Nicanor Parra, she had five children, she broke her heart and she wrote “Run run se fue pa´l norte” for this, and maybe, this last one, caused his suicide, but we don’t have that very clear. She used a tent to show people the Chilean folklore with other artist, bur now, this tent doesn’t exist anymore, this is very sad! Now this place it´s a condominium. But at least, have created a museum in their memory. Although it’s very important for us, the authorities have left it aside. Baaaad!!  And finally if I could meet her I don’t know what would do hahaha maybe I would just be nervous and say: Hello! 

Bye, see you soon!
