Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during her extended residence in Paris, this crucial album showcases the profound, deeply resonant folklore of the legendary Chilean ethnomusicologist and songwriter. Stripping away heavy instrumentation in favor of stark, intimate acoustic accompaniment, the collection highlights her immensely powerful voice and poetic lyricism, fundamentally laying the groundwork for the highly political Nueva Canci贸n movement in South America.
