A biographical portrait of Chilean folk singer Violeta Parra (1917 – 1967). An activist and crusader for her art, she was considered in Latin America and in Europe as one of the most gifted folk singers and folk artists of the continent. Early in 1967, she committed suicide in Chile, her native country. In this program, Carlos Hagen presents some glimpses of her life and a large number of unusual recordings illustrating her art and special style.
