Podcasts about Violeta Parra

Violeta Parra needs no introduction in Latin America: not only did she record the greatest album in Chilean history, she also collected two thousand folk songs, danced in the Poor Circus, sang in the streets, and --incredibly-- exhibited at the Louvre. Over the years she also broke ...*checks notes*... 48 guitars over people's heads. Discover the larger than life story of Violeta Parra with our guest Ericka Verba, author of Thanks to Life, A Biography of Violeta Parra. _______________________ Travel with us!

En la víspera de un nuevo aniversario del golpe de estado de 1973 en Chile, conversamos sobre la memoria del exilio con el cantautor y compositor chileno Alejandro Vargas, quien junto a otros músicos de ese país realizarán un concierto para homenajear a Violeta Parra y Víctor Jara en Melbourne.

As a teen, and until my wreck at 18 years old, I played the guitar, keyboards, drum, kena, electric guitar and bass, xylophone, and sang at a professional level with my band “Incarauteca”. Although at the time I only had the very minimum of formal musical education, only a few years of classical guitar, I was able to play just about any instrument that was handed to me - except for the piano. The piano thing is a story for another day. Although my band mainly played cover songs for Inti-Illimani, Los Jaivas, Violeta Parra, Victor Jara, Clara Solovera and some popular latin songs, lyrics also flowed out of me non-stop. I didn't do anything with those lyrics, mind you.I was a bit of a virtuoso and also obsessed with music. At age 17 I had an experience on stage that I misconstrued as negative: an entire audience of 2000 people cried as I sang my song… “Luchin” by Victor Jara. And, after that day, I stopped singing. In fact, I even developed asthma and was not able to use my breath well enough to sing properly after that. Not understanding human emotions well, I thought I was bringing suffering to the world.So, I just focused on playing musical instruments. That was until age 18 when my decisions caused me to get seriously injured in a motorbike accident in which I died for a few minutes. Thank you brother for insisting and buying me a top of the line full head motorcycle helmet. It saved my life. When I returned to life, it was with brain damage, and damaged arms and broken back. I was not able to hold a guitar or any other instruments anymore. And even if I did manage it, music and numbers were gone from my brain matrix. I was no longer able to access them. That's the day music died for me.I took it in my stride and didn't often think about it very much. But the life I had grown up with, surrounded by instruments, tunes, lyrics and musicians, was over.Have you heard Don McLean's "American Pie"? Better known as “the day the music died.” It was a song released on October 24, 1971, as the opening track on Don McLean's album of the same name. McLean wrote the song about the date February 3, 1959, when an airplane crash resulted in the deaths of American musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson).Although I was born seven years after the death of these musicians, and five years before the release of the song, whenever I heard it, it triggered something major in me. A lot of people have that feeling when they hear that song, even if they don't know what it is about or why it was written.Very soon after I had heard the song for the first time, I realized that it had to do with the dark side of the light/dark reality co-opting (hijacking) the mass-market music industry. It felt to me that no matter how good a singer or band was, eventually they would fall for the “sell their soul to the devil to become famous” offer or be removed from public view. Like most folk, I shook my fist at them and carried on with my life.I loved music, listening, singing along, and playing it. But every time I would buy a single or listen to music on the radio, it was littered with negative messages. Messages that disempowered, that made people addicted to drama, degradation, and just nasty stuff.Mostly, I stopped listening to music.At some point, I received the guidance to learn the violin and the French language. I started doing that and my brain damage started to repair, albeit very slowly.A few years later, I discovered the “Aquacure”, which I used and quickly realized after using it for a few months that it had completely cured my asthma, and the brain damage had started to dissolve. Suddenly, I was able to count and recall numbers and hear notes again… and make sense of them.During our December 2024 live call, when I looked at 2025, one of the items I saw was “the music returns”. I didn't at the time realize the personal nature of that seeing, just the effect this would have on the world at large.For me, it has been a very personal experience. And my personal experience opens the gates for all high-frequency musicians to touch our souls and reach the stars in the way we know is true and real. Music that is divine, empowering, and uplifting while keeping the styles we love, like rock, classical, urban Latin reggaeton, pop, country… There are literally no limits.What exactly happened to me, to bring this about?On July 14th, 2025, I was reviewing an article by the WE awareness. Often I have to work on those to translate them into “human”. A fellow writer had told me that using an AI to proofread things was fast and very helpful. So, I ran the article through an AI. There were a few grammatical items to work on as well as some helpful feedback. Then our cat Brad jumped on my desk, including my keyboard, and brought the whole thing to a standstill. About the same time, Larry was on Facebook and saw an ad about making music with AI. As I complained about the “work” that Brad was doing to my essay, he made a song called “Cat-astrophy” about a cat helping write an essay. We listened to it together and laughed our heads off.At this point, as I was working within the WE awareness, the idea came to run their articles through the AI to get lyrics out of it and then to run the lyrics through the AI that made music. My idea was to create a band that would go into my future book series Daisy Chain and be a part of the world creation and lore of those novels. The band “Glass Daisy” was born.The first lyrics came out of the WE article. As WE looked at them, we saw they needed some heavy editing. So, we did that. I then ran it through the music AI to generate the instruments and a specific synthesized voice. I realized that getting the sound just right was a bit of a challenge. But, after a few hours of tuning and editing the ‘playing of the AI instrument', we (I) managed to do it. You can hear this first song on our podcast “Driving To The Rez,” and the album it will be on is released in September 2025 on ineliarecords.com.Soon after that, the WE showed me that breaking through the communication barrier they had been experiencing when talking to people would be enormously facilitated by the use of our lyrics combined with different styles of music. That is how the various other “artists” were born. Now, the WE speak and sing through: Glass Daisy - Dream Pop, Roxy Vale - Soul Rock, Iron Cedar - Native American Rock, Alicia Avila - Nueva Canción Chilena Rock, Luc Lake - Tech House, Leo Mar - Urban Latin Reggaeton, and Jazzy Stevens - Retro Pop. We also plan to recruit a rap artist, a country singer and jazz/blues singer.On Friday the 12th of September at 1 PM Pacific, I will hold a live event to explain my process, the tools I use, how to use them, and the pitfalls to avoid. Yes, you can click on these AI tools twice and get a song. But if you want a high-frequency song, it is a little more involved. If you want to express your life and experience, it takes some more work. We will also listen to unreleased tracks. Be there or be square! It is also the day I release “Breaking Through The Glass Daisy”, the album that includes that first song and is an integral world-building part of the “Daisy Chain” novels.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Inside this Episode with Mitch HamptonI read an enormous amount of books in a given year, partially for the great pleasure it creates in me and partly as my project of lifelong learning, itself probably identical in pleasure. Verba's work on Violeta Parra - one of the giants in Latin American music in general and  Chilean music in particular as well as a leading visual artist and scholar - was one of the books in this new year of 2025 that taught me an enormous amount, not only about music but History and other matters. I found my episode with Verba - someone who has deep and involved careers in music performance as much as scholarship - a delight from beginning to end and I hope our audience gets to learn more about the genius that was Violeta Parra.Dr. Verba's BioEricka Verba is Director and Professor of Latin American Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. Her research interests include the cultural Cold War, the role of music in social movements, and the intersection of gender and class politics in twentieth-century Latin America. She has received grants from the National Endowment from the Humanities, the Mellon Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright, and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. She is a founding member of SCALAS (Southern California Association of Latin American Studies) and the recipient of the E. Bradford Burns Award for service to the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies. She is the author of the book Thanks to Life: A Biography of Violeta Parra. Her interest in Violeta Parra dates back to her early teens in the 1970s when she became friends with a Chilean family of musicians and artists who taught Verba her first Violeta Parra songs and guided her political awakening to the brutality of the Pinochet dictatorship and the role of the US government in installing and supporting it. As a musician and founding member of the US-based New Song groups Sabiá and Desborde, she has been performing Parra's music since 1976. In 1980, she wrote her undergraduate honors senior thesis on Parra's autobiography in verse. In 1996, She was the musical director and arranger for a tribute concert to Violeta Parra, supported by an Artists in the Community grant from the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and recorded and released as Desborde, Tribute Concert to Violeta Parra. As a professor of Latin American History since 2004, she has welded her research on the history of women in Chile with her interest in Parra to acquire a deeper understanding of the social context and gender dynamics that shaped Parra's life. Suffice to say, Verba's book represents the culmination of a decades-long curiosity about Violeta Parra and engagement with her work. #folkmusic #chile #guitar #communism #marxist-leninism #fascism #salvadorallende #1940s #1950s #1960s #alanlomax #peteseeger #painting #dance #sculpture #feminism #latinamerica #southamerica #nicanorparra #angelparra #violetawenttoheaven #biennalearte #louvrepalace #albertcamus #existentialism #jeanpaulsartre #picasso #earlbrowder #paulrobeson #woodyguthrie #l'escale #france #paris #argentina #folklorista #chileannewsong Links to her socials:Website:https://erickaverba.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericka_verba/More about her new book: THANKS TO LIFE A Biography of Violeta Parra "A stunning achievement.

Our book is: Thanks to Life: A Biography of Violeta Parra (UNC Press, 2025), by Ericka Verba, which explores the life of Chilean musician and artist Violeta Parra (1917–1967). Parra is an inspiration to generations of artists and activists across the globe. Her music is synonymous with resistance, and it animated both the Chilean folk revival and the protest music movement Nueva Canción (New Song). Her renowned song "Gracias a la vida" has been covered countless times, including by Joan Baez, Mercedes Sosa, and Kacey Musgraves. A self-taught visual artist, Parra was the first Latin American to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in the Louvre. In this remarkable biography, Dr. Ericka Verba traces Parra's radical life and multifaceted artistic trajectory across Latin America and Europe and on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Verba paints a vivid and nuanced picture of Parra's life. From her modest beginnings in southern Chile to her untimely death, Parra was an exceptionally complex and talented woman who exposed social injustice in Latin America to the world through her powerful and poignant songwriting. This examination of her creative, political, and personal life, flaws and all, illuminates the depth and agency of Parra's journey as she invented and reinvented herself in her struggle to be recognized as an artist on her own terms.

Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Verba paints a vivid and nuanced picture of Parra's life. From her modest beginnings in southern Chile to her untimely death, Parra was an exceptionally complex and talented woman who exposed social injustice in Latin America to the world through her powerful and poignant songwriting.

This week we're re-running an episode exploring the Latin American folk music movement that was La Nueva Canción. Fueled by leftist politics and the integration of indigenous musical elements and instruments, La Nueva Canción produced incredible and inspirational folk music across the region and continues to influence the music we love today. ***Also, we had a math struggle this epi! Violeta Parra was born in 1917, so she was actually in her 50s when she died, not in her 30s!

De Vlaamse acteur en regisseur Michel van Dousselaere nam in 2018 afscheid van zijn publiek nadat in 2014 een zeldzame vorm van progressieve afasie bij hem werd vastgesteld. Een hersenaandoening waardoor zijn spraakvermogen verdween en hij fysiek aftakelde. Over zijn ziekte maakte hij samen met zijn vrouw, documentairemaker Irma Wijsman, de documentaire Michel, acteur verliest de woorden aan de hand van zijn laatste theaterrol. In het vervolg Michel en de handen op zijn huid portretteert Wijsman vier jonge mensen die voor Michel gezorgd hebben en onderzoekt ze welke impact die zorg op hun jonge leven heeft gehad. Lara Billie Rense spreekt met Wijsman over het werk en leven van Van Dousselaere. Waarom koos hij bewust voor jonge mantelzorgers? En hoe verzorg je iemand zonder woorden? In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: In de podcast Wat Blijft hoor je de komende weken de 12-delige serie Grote Geesten over indrukwekkende denkers uit de Humanistische Canon. Van Aristoteles tot Hannah Arendt en van Simone De Beauvoir tot James Baldwin. Wat hebben zij betekend? Wat kunnen we leren van hun leven en denken?  En hoe leven zij voort?    In de tweede aflevering volgt Lotje IJzermans het spoor terug van denker, romancier, feminist en pacifist Virginia Woolf. Ze was oprichter van de Bloomsburygroep, een groep intellectuelen in het literaire leven van Londen en werd bekend met haar boeken ‘Mrs. Dalloway', ‘Naar de vuurtoren' en ‘Orlando'. Haar echtgenoot Leonard Woolf noemde haar een genie, maar ook buiten haar intieme kring oogstte ze veel bewondering.  Ze was de pionier van het modernisme en experimenteerde met bijv. the stream of consciousness-techniek. En nog steeds is haar werk actueel, springlevend en een bron van inspiratie. Haar leven was vol diepe dalen en ze werd geplaagd door depressies. In 1941 maakte ze een einde aan haar leven door zich te verdrinken in de rivier de Ouse.   Lotje praat met drie schrijvers van drie generaties: schrijver en radiomaker Nikki Dekker voor wie Virginia een rolmodel is, schrijver en filosoof Jannah Loontjens die Virginia al sinds haar studententijd bewondert en schrijver en filosoof Joke Hermsen. Presentator: Lara Billie Rense  Redactie: Jessica Zoghary, Nina Ramkisoen, Geerte Verduijn, Sushmita Lageman Eindredactie: Bram Vollaers  Productie: Mare de Vries

En esta oportunidad escucharemos Coplas al viento, primero disco del Conjunto Quelentaro, quienes antes de convertirse en el mítico dúo conformado por los hermanos Eduardo y Gastón Guzmán, fue un conjunto, en el que también participaban Valericio Leppe, Eladio López y Arinaldo Álvarez. Esta formación se mantuvo entre los años 1960 y 1968. Su primera grabación data de 1965, con su participación en el disco colectivo “Carpa de la Reina”, en que aparecen junto a otros artistas bajo el alero de Violeta Parra. Dos años después, en 1967, hizo aparición éste, su primer disco, bajo el sello Odeón Chile, en el que ya se adelanta parte de lo que será el sello de Quelentaro: la canción de contenido social, fuerte, sin eufemismos, potente, vivencial. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/libreriaradio/support

Francisca Gavilán (⁠@francisca__gavilan) es una reconocida actriz chilena (“Violeta se fue a los cielos”) con quien Laura sostiene una linda conversación acerca de sus recuerdos y conexión con su madre y su hermana, quienes fallecieron de cáncer hace unos años. Durante un rodaje, la actriz recibió una llamada de su mamá que le decía que tenía síntomas muy fuertes. Al llegar al centro médico y hacerse exámenes, le encontraron Leucemia en la sangre y la sometieron casi de inmediato a quimioterapia, pero después de meses de tratamiento, esta tristemente falleció. Tres años después, su hermana empezó a mostrar síntomas de cáncer de mama, y la misma Francisca, durante el rodaje del biopic de Violeta Parra, mientras su hermana batallaba con el suyo, fue también diagnosticada con cáncer de tiroides, siendo la única que lo pudo superar con éxito.

Reciban un cordial saludo. Desde Cali (Colombia), les habla Sergio Luis López, compartiéndoles un nuevo episodio de "Así la escuché yo..." Corría el año 1971 y en una Latinoamérica dominada por dictaduras militares, se abría paso clandestinamente la llamada “Música protesta”, con canciones contestatarias y mensajes de denuncia, como la canción que grabó la argentina Mercedes Sosa junto al grupo chileno Quilapayún titulada “La carta”. Así la escuché yo… Esta canción es una composición de la cantautora chilena Violeta Parra, publicada en 1971 en el álbum póstumo “Canciones reencontradas en París”, que contiene piezas musicales que Violeta había grabado años atrás, pero que no habían sido prensadas en vinilo hasta entonces. Entre estas canciones está “La carta”. ¿Y tú, conocías la canción original “La carta” en la voz de Violeta Parra?

En este día tan importante del ciclo de las elecciones primarias presidenciales de los Estados Unidos, Juan Carlos López, corresponsal en jefe de política de CNN en Español nos habla de lo que está en juego, los temas que más animan a los votantes en estas elecciones, y el papel que jugará el voto latino en este proceso electoral. El cantautor argentino lanzó una nueva versión del clásico 'Gracias a la vida', original de Violeta Parra, con el fin de recaudar fondos en favor de los damnificados por los devastadores incendios registrados en la región chilena de Valparaíso.

En este episodio número 100 de Baraja Eso, tenemos el honor de recibir a una invitada muy especial, la rapera franco-chilena, Ana Tijoux (⁠@anatijoux). La vida de Ana está marcada por una historia familiar singular. Nacida en Francia debido a las circunstancias de migración causadas por la dictadura en Chile, sus primeros años estuvieron permeados por las influencias culturales de este país europeo. A los 14 años, regresó a Chile y emprendió un prolongado proceso para sentirse parte de este país latinoamericano, y allí encontró una profunda conexión con el rap chileno, que se convirtió en un ancla en su vida. El rap ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en su carrera musical.  Ana expande en su resistencia a encasillarse como "rapera" y cómo la confianza de los artistas puede tambalear en ocasiones, porque no siempre se tiene certeza acerca del mensaje que se comunica a través del arte. Para ella, la clave de mantener un propósito claro radica en tener referentes sólidos a los que recurrir cuando la seguridad flaquea. Además, como madre de dos hijos con padres diferentes, ha construido relaciones positivas con ambos y sus respectivas parejas, y a pesar de las ocasionales críticas, como mujer y madre soltera, encuentra plenitud y felicidad en su vida tal como es en el presente. Ana Tijoux ha descubierto en el arte una vía para expresar sus pensamientos y emociones, y la vida misma ha sido una fuente de inspiración. Recomendaciones: Música: 1977 de Ana Tijoux, Tania de Ana Tijoux, Tablas hindú (género), The Alchemist (rapero), Ryuichi Sakamoto (pianista y compositor), Nina Simone, Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Flor del Rap.
