Violeta Parra was born in 1917 in the small town of San Carlos, in southern Chile. She was the daughter of an elementary schoolteacher and seamstress. Her brother, Nicanor, became one of Chile\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most notable poets. During the 1950\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, Violeta traveled throughout Chile collecting numerous folk songs, stories, and poems. Her research helped to popularize folk music in Chile. By the early 1960\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Parra began infusing folk with leftist political lyrics. As a pioneer of such a fusion, she became the de-facto founder of Chile\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Nueva Cancion Movement. Her song, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gracias a la Vida,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is one of the most performed songs in Latin America. Parra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life ended tragically when she committed suicide in 1967. Returning to Uprising is Chilean musician and former political prisoner under the Pinochet dictatorship, Sergio Reyes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUEST: Chilean musician and former political prisoner under the Pinochet dictatorship, Sergio Reyes We look back at the life and music of one of Chile\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most legendary folk singers, Violeta Parra.
