Canciones folklóricas de América (Folk Songs of America), is the third studio album by Víctor Jara, and Quilapayún in 1968,[1] on the label EMI Odeon.[2] Jara for the album sales, received his first silver album.[3] The album cover that shows a peaceful and colorful design of birds in the jungle, was designed by the Larrea brothers.[4]
The multinational record company EMI released the album in other Latin American countries such as Uruguay (1970) or Argentina (1983).[5]
Background[]
In 1966, Víctor Jara met the group Quilapayun (formed for Eduardo Carrasco, Julio Carrasco, Carlos Quezada, Willy Oddó and Patricio Castillo), and they started a "musical society" that lasts several years and that would result in the recording of some albums, including this one.[1]
Music[]
The album begins with a Jara's performance in English of Hush-a-bye, and although the album is called "Canciones folklóricas de América", includes two Spanish songs, "Paloma del palomar" and "El tururururú". The last song on the album, "El coneji", which was originally a poem by Chilean Carlos Préndez Saldías, to which Víctor put music.[1]
