Francesca Ancarola (born 18 March 1968) is a Chilean singer and songwriter.〔(Francesca Ancarola Biography - Discography (es) ) musicapopular.cl 2006 - 2014, consejo nacional de cultura, retrieved on January 20, 2015〕 Ancarola’s musical style is a mix of folk and jazz, with social justice themes, and she is considered a part of the Chilean New Song movement. ==Career== Ancarola began her musical career in the 1980s, winning a prize at a festival organised by the magazine ''La Bicicleta y el Café del Cerro'', a publication associated with the Chilean New Song movement.〔(Francesca Ancarola at Altazor ) 2015 Altazor – Premio a las Artes Nacionales, retrieved on January 20, 2015〕 She graduated from the University of Chile with a degree in music and later studied singing at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. In 1997, she won a Fulbright scholarship to study at the Manhattan School of Music. Ancarola’s first album as a soloist was ''Que el canto tiene sentido'' (English: For a song has meaning) in 1999. The album’s title was a tribute to the song ''Manifiesto'' by Víctor Jara, the popular singer-songwriter of the New Song movement and activist, who was killed by the Pinochet-led military regime in 1973. Her subsequent albums, ''Pasaje de ida y vuelta'' (Return ticket - 2000) and ''Jardines humanos'' (Human Gardens - 2002), further developed her Latin American fusion style, the former receiving an Altazor Award. In 2003 she released ''Sons of the same sun'' through Petroglyph Records, based in Taos, New Mexico. This album included some of her repertoire sung in English. In 2004 she released ''Contigo aprendí'' (With you I learned), an album composed of boleros.〔(Contigo Aprendí Track List ) francescaancarola.cl official website, retrieved on January 20, 2015〕 Ancarola again paid tribute to Jara in 2006 with the release of her album ''Lonquén'', where Ancarola covers some of Jara’s songs using “more contemporary language”.〔(Victor Jara Tribute ) cooperativa.cl september 23, 2006 retrieved on January 20, 2015〕 “Victor came from a poor family, but despite this he managed to transcend and cultivate himself... to become an icon of our music,” Ancarola said regarding the album’s release. The album earned the musician her second Altazor Award. In 2008, Ancarola released ''Arrullos'' (Lullabies), an album of children’s songs, which was nominated for an Altazor Award. Ancarola’s album ''Templanza'' (Temperance) was released in 2012.〔(Templanza Track List ) francescaancarola.cl official website, retrieved on January 20, 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francesca Ancarola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
