Parodi is the sixth artiste in a group of distinguished musicians in the Americas to have joined the Institute in its efforts to pay tribute to and recognize the work of those who ensure we have food on our tables during the Covid-19 pandemic.
San Jose, 27 April 2020 (IICA) – Argentinian musician Teresa Parodi has joined IICA’s campaign to pay tribute to and to thank workers throughout the agrifood chain. Widely regarded as one of the most representative voices of Latin American folk music, and recognized for her prolific career as a singer-songwriter, Parodi has chosen a special song for this tribute, in which she even sings in Guarani.
Parodi has also left a mark in politics, as the first woman ever to head of the Ministry of Culture in her country.
Various organizations and government entities, such as the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Social Development of Argentina, as well as the program “Argentina contra el hambre” (“Argentina against hunger”), have joined renowned artists from all regions of the Americas in supporting the POPULAR MUSIC TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO WORK DAY TO DAY TO PUT FOOD ON OUR TABLES.
