We meet again, I will write today about the greatest Chilean of all time...what difficult question, because de all time it is a loooong time. First I thought writing about a Mapuche woman, but later I regretted, because de Mapuche is not Chilean.
I thinking in a woman...(always the woman, because I love to think the womans in history...really I love the womans). Is very difficult choose one, but I choose a woman that I really admire a lot.
Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval was a great woman, the popular culture disseminator. She was singer-songwriter, painter, sculptor, embroiderer and potter, besides a great thinker.
I really love her music, because her songs has a lot of feeling and her lyrics say many thuths, about the love, the inequality, the poverty, the injustice, about the life in the countryside and the minig, among other things.
She born on October 4, 1917 in San Fabián de Alico, region of Ñuble and She killed herself on February 5, 1967 with a gun in La Reina, commune of Santiago.
She was a traveler, she was traveling aroud the world, singing, playing ang learnig about the instrument (like the guitar, the charango, the cuatro, the harp, among others) and She telling in the all parts visit, about the reality in which the people of Chile lived at time.
I advise you to listen to her songs (while I was writing the blogs I was listening the "Yo canto a la diferencia")
Bye

ReplyDeleteTheir songs are made with a lot of effort and work
ReplyDeleteI think is really important to give more recognition to women in history. Violeta was one of the greatest to me too.
