Gracias a la Vida was written by legendary Chilean folklorist Violeta Parra.

In this video Anita (tabla player of Rakkatak) speaks to Oriana Barbato (bass player of Rakkatak) and Valentina Harper (vocalist) about our approach to Gracias a la Vida, and also about what it means to each of them as Chileans.
