I
don’t really like to speak about music, maybe because I think that I
know so little about it, that if I try to say something about the topic,
I could be embarrassed. However, I don’t use to go to concerts, so I
going to write a little of a singer that I like.
My
favorite singer is Violeta Parra. She was a folklore singer from a
small village next to the city of Chillán. In her life, Violeta gave to
born four children. She spent her whole life crossing all the country to
recover popular songs and the old tradition of the country people. Her
work was a huge contribution to the Chilean music and culture. I like
her a lot, because I think she is a very strong woman who never stopped
even when she was practically alone and everybody say to her to stop,
and what I like about her music is the social content of the letters
that she wrote. She has hundred of songs, and its difficult chose one,
but it could be “Yo canto a la diferencia”, because it shows the
political thought of Violeta with her singular style of saying things.
