A pioneer of Latin American folk music in the 1960s, the Chilean Violeta Parra inspired both Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and, more recently, the Swiss tenor Emiliano Gonzalez Toro. Himself a Chilean, this virtuoso of the lyrical voice pays homage to the ambassador of popular culture through a jazz album.
Conceived with the French pianist Thomas Enhco in the company of a flamenco singer and other exceptional musicians, Violeta y el jazz (Violeta and jazz) brings together 10 poetic and committed titles by Violeta Parra 55 years after her death. Meeting with the instigator of the project, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro, with an imposing and warm voice.
