Canto y guitarra, also known as El folklore de Chile, is an album by Violeta Parra released on the Odeón label in September 1957. It was the first full-length album by Parra. It was released after Parra's return from Europe where she traveled for two years.[1][2]
The album included 17 songs, some of which are older folklore songs and others composed by Parra. Parra's compositions include "Verso por la niña muerta" which was inspired by the death of Parra's daughter, Rosita Clara, while Parra was in Europe. Another original composition, "Verso por despedida a Gabriela Mistral", was a tribute to the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral who died in January 1957.
The album cover features a portrait by G. Meisser and includes liner notes by Raúl Aicardi. The album's title reflects the fact that all of the songs are interpreted solely by Parra on voice and acoustic guitar.[1][2]
