La cueca presentada por Violeta Parra, also known as El folklore de Chile Volumen 3, is an album by Violeta Parra released on the Odeón label in early 1959. It was the third full-length album by Parra and part of Odeón's "El folclore de Chile" series to which Parra contributed five albums. The album contains 24 songs in the cueca genre. The cueca is the Chilean national dance, and the songs were collected between November 1957 and January 1958 in the central region of Chile between Santiago and Concepción. The sole original composition is "Cueca larga de Los Meneses" which was written by Parra and her brother, the "anti-poet" Nicanor Parra.[1][2]
The album cover was designed by the Chilean painter Julio Escámez. The liner notes consisted of eight pages and were written by Gastón Soublette.[1]
