October 4, 2017, was 100 years since the birth of Violeta Parra, who was a singer-songwriter, painter, sculptor, embroidered, and Chilean potter, considered one of the leading folklorists in South America and a great popular music disseminator of Chile. Her work served as an inspiration to several later artists, who continued with their task of rescuing the music of the Chilean countryside and the manifestations of the folklore of Chile and Latin America.
