Canto y guitarra

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 Parra's first full-length album, released after her return from Europe where she had traveled for two years.

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.
