Description
◾Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval (4 October 1917 5 February 1967) was a Chilean composer, songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist (paintings, ceramics, and tapestries). She set the basis for Chilean New Song, a renewal and a reinvention of Chilean folk music which would absorb and extend its influence far beyond Chile.
She was involved in the progressive movement and the Communist Party of
Chile.
Her most renowned song, Gracias a la Vida (Thanks to Life), was popularized throughout Latin America by Mercedes Sosa and later in the US by Joan Baez.
◾However, Violeta attracted much more attention and renown abroad than at
home. Between 1961 and 1965 she returned to Europe, where she performed ceaselessly at everywhere from small bars to the halls of the United Nations.
◾In 1964, Violeta became the first Latin American to show her work as a stand-alone exhibit in Parisian museum The Louvre
◾It has formed a marriage
all covered with black,
black couple and groomsmen
black brothers and in-laws,
and the priest who married them
thereof was black.
When the party started
put a black tablecloth
then came the dessert
dried figs were served
and went to bed
beneath a black sky.
And there are the two heads
the black with black,
dawned cold
had to ignite,
Coal brought the bold
Coal is also black.
Something hurts the black
came the village doctor
prescribed mud plaster
but the black mud
that gave the black
Maqui juice hill.
Bold already died
that poor black pal penalty,
threw it in a drawer
drawer painted black,
a sail set on or not
oh, what most black funeral."
Note:In chile people say Negro (Black) to brown people, but in this case I think Violet refers to the Mapuche people

Outstanding. I think Violeta Parra would be quite honored by your recognition of her in this fine artwork. I also find it fascinating that many artists often have to go far away from where they are from originally to gain recognition as did Violeta. It seems a strange trait of many communities, -- for so many different reasons, whether personal or systmetic, that people cannot recognize what it right in front of them. I love your work.
