Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval (4 October 1917 – 5 February 1967) was a Chilean composer, songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist. She pioneered the "Chilean' New Song", the Nueva canción chilena, a renewal and a reinvention of Chilean folk music which would extend its sphere of influence outside Chile. In 2011 Andrés Wood directed a biopic about her, titled Violeta Went to Heaven.
Parra was born in San Fabián de Alico, near San Carlos, Ñuble Province, a small town in southern Chile on 4 October 1917, as Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval. Violeta Parra was a member of the prolific Parra family. Among her brothers were the notable modern poet, better known as the "anti-poet", Nicanor Parra, and fellow folklorist Roberto Parra. Her son, Ángel Parra, and her daughter, Isabel Parra, are also important figures in the development of the Nueva Canción Chilena. Their children have also mostly maintained the family's artistic traditions.
Her father was a music teacher and her mother worked on a farm, but sang and played the guitar in her spare time. Two years after Violeta's birth, the family moved to Santiago, then, two years later, to Lautaro and, finally, in 1927, to Chillán. It was in Chillan that Violeta started singing and playing the guitar, together with her siblings Hilda, Eduardo and Roberto; and soon began composing traditional Chilean music.
After Parra's father died in 1929, the life circumstances of her family greatly deteriorated. Violeta and her siblings had to work to help feed the family.
In 1932, at the insistence of her brother Nicanor, Parra moved to Santiago to attend the Normal School, staying with relatives. Later, she moved back with her mother and siblings to Edison street, in the Quinta Normal district.
Puras is a municipality located in the province of Valladolid, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 63 inhabitants.

"Gracias a la Vida" es una de las canciones chilenas más conocidas e interpretadas en el mundo, compuesta e interpretada por la cantautora Violeta Parra, una de las artistas que sentó las bases del movimiento artístico conocido como la Nueva Canción Chilena. "Gracias a la vida" es la canción que abre su álbum Las Últimas Composiciones (1966), el último publicado por Violeta antes de su suicidio en 1967. Con la colaboración de sus hijos Isabel y Ángel, además del músico uruguayo Alberto Zapicán, Violeta preparó durante 1966 el disco que se transformaría en Las Últimas Composiciones. Se trata de un álbum que, de acuerdo a algunos especialistas, presenta lo mejor de su obra, conteniendo canciones como "Run Run, Se Fue Pa'l Norte", "Maldigo Del Alto Cielo", "Volver A Los 17" y "El Albertío"....

"La Carta" o "Los Hambrientos Piden Pan" o según la versión de la Antología 2012 "He Recibido Carta". (Violeta Parra) Me mandaron una carta por el correo temprano. En esa carta me dicen que cayó preso mi hermano y, sin lástima, con grillos, por la calle lo arrastraron, sí. La carta dice el motivo que ha cometido Roberto: haber apoyado el paro que ya se había resuelto. Si acaso esto es un motivo, presa también voy, sargento, sí. Yo que me encuentro tan lejos, esperando una noticia, me viene a decir la carta que en mi patria no hay justicia: los hambrientos piden pan, plomo les da la milicia, sí. De esta manera pomposa quieren conservar su asiento los de abanico y de frac, sin tener merecimiento. Van y vienen de la iglesia y olvidan los mandamientos, sí. ¿Habrase visto insolencia, barb...
"Miren como sonríen" es una canción de Violeta Parra, compuesta en 1962, y que a la fecha, transcurridos ya 50 años desde que se grabó, no pierde vigencia, lamentablemente. La canción no fue incluida en la discografía oficial de Violeta Parra, sino en un disco colectivo llamado "Süd- und mittelamerikanische Volksmusik" de 1965 y editado en la República Democrática Alemana. Luego la canción fue incluida en un par de discos de Violeta Parra que han sido editados de manera póstuma durante los últimos años. ......................................
