VIOLETA PARRA AND MARIA ELENA WALSH
We are celebrating the Music of two towering figures of Latin America poetry: Violeta Parra from Chile and Maria Elena Walsh from Argentina.
Singers as diverse as Mercedes Sosa, Liuba Maria Hevia, Jairo, Cuarteto Zupay, Joan Manuel Serrat, Isabel Parra, Soledad Bravo, Inti-Illimani, Angel Parra and Silvio Rodriguez among others, will be lending their voices to the lyrics of these two brilliant artists, and of course Violeta and Maria Elena will be singing as well.
Chilean composer, singer-songwriter, folklorist, ethnomusicologist and visual artist Violeta Parra not only pioneered the Nueva Cancin Chilena, but also her social justice message and her poetry extended through the entire region and beyond. With her renewal and reinvention of Chilean folk music she bolstered the songs for Peace and Justice.
Argentinian Maria Elena Walsh was largely known as childrens book storyteller, singer, songwriter and also ethnomusicologist. Her interest in music was beyond the confines of Buenos Aires. She was interested in the native music of Argentinian Mapuches, Guaranies and Aymaras tribes. Some of her songs become a hymn for freedom, liberty and social justice during the times of oppression in Argentina.

HOLIDAY AND SACRED MUSIC
This week we are playing Holiday and Sacred Music that is played throughout Spain, and Latin America. The two mainstays of the show are Works from two Argentinian artists: Ariel Ramirez, Felix Luna and their Misa Criolla (Creole Mass) and the Argentinian Rock Group Vox Dei (Voice of God) with a conceptual work from 1971 titled La Biblia, The bible. In between we are playing some Christmas Carols from Spain and Latin America, including works published in 1631 and 1432. Misa Criolla was one of the first masses not in Latin shortly after the Second Vatican Council permitted the use of the vernacular in Catholic churches. The Misa Criolla is "widely regarded as a stunning artistic achievement, that combined Spanish text with indigenous instruments and rhythms.
The second pillar of our show is La Biblia ; Spanish for "The Bible" is the second studio album by the Argentinian band Vox Dei, released as a double album on 1971. It is considered a milestone of the emerging Argentinian rock, as well as one of the first rock operas and conceptual albums of rock en Espanol, La Biblia centers on the Bible's narrative, starting from Genesis and concluding with the Cristo muerte y Resurreccion (Christ death and Resurrection)
