thread_title: death

message: We should probably provide an overview of the music and separate subsections for main songs, career highlights, etc. This is a highly influential musican who warrants a more highly developed page. 
It also seems a little POV to start right off talking about Pinochet. GeoBardRap 01:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvements 

message: —Why do you think Violeta commited suicide?
—Artists are very passionate, melancolic. When we see that our work is not getting attention, and neither is love... Violeta was working at her tent, in La Reina [Santiago], but things were not going well. She could not think of a way out, that's what I think. Maybe, her only way out was suicide.

thread_title:  Deletion rationale of speculative uncited material 

message: Albeit very poetic with the references to shifts between A minor and E7 are mostly wrong. It's probabily the most common chord pattern in a minor key. The same can be said for the modulation towards C which is very very common. Unless someone gives me good reasons I will change this section.
I'd like to add that the modulation between A minor, C and F is common in traditional music with roots in Europe and elsewhere. Claiming that this level of "sophistication" is rare in folk music is plain wrong, and actually pretty condescending.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.84.73 (talk) 01:36, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description of the chord progression of Gracias a la vida 

message: When translating "Gracias a la vida", why do you say "ironically, :Thanks to life" ?
If it is because she later commited suicide, please remember that the song was written long before that tragical event.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.145.56.241 (talk) 09:32, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Making a dedicated section to her art, while she's better known as a musician and for her role in the Nueva Canción, she deserves to have her visual art in it's own section. HornNest (talk) 12:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
