This film is a portrait of famed Chilean singer and folklorist Violeta Parra filled with her musical work, her memories, her loves and her hopes. She was a influential Chilean composer songwriter, ethnomusicologist and visual artist. She set the basis for "Chilean' New Song", La Nueva Canción chilena, a renewal and a reinvention of Chilean folk music which would absorb and extend its influence far beyond Chile. She passed on February 5, 1967 at the age of 50. Dr. Fred Dobb, the galería's film curator, will give a pre-film lecture.
