5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful compilation..., September 27, 2004

This review is from: Antologia (Audio CD)

This is an excellent collection of better compositions and folks recompilations from the greater Latin American's icons of the popular music.
You can hear the well-known "Casamiento de Negros (Marriage of Black)," " Volver a los 17 (Back to the 17)," " Run Run Se Fue P'al Norte (Run Run Moved To North)" and, "Gracias a la Vida (Thanks to the Life)," of course.
The cuecas are included "Violeta Ausente (Absent Violeta)" and "La Jardinera (The Jardiniere)," with ethnic rhythmic shades. A deep political sign could hear in the lyrics of "La Carta (The Letter)," "Miren como Sonrien (Look at How they Smile)," "Qué dirá el Santo Padre (What will Pope Say)," and "Arauco tiene una pena (Arauco Has A Pain)". Some tracks melt with the melancholy of the Araucanian drum of "The Guillatún" and "Up Burning the Sun."
As interludes could listen some "Decimas" (rhymes of roguish and country origin but with artful social content).
The best of the album is the improvement of the sound regarding another CD non remastered. Remember these recordings were made between 1955 and 1966.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music from the soul, August 27, 2004

Violeta Parra's music speaks to all aspects of life. The beauty of the simple things around us, the happiness experienced falling in love, sadness of being betrayed and anger that folows, and even the silliness of pompous politicians. This album contains all of her best work and I would highly recommend this album to anyone who wants to see the world through her eyes.
