This album marked the beginning of Víctor Jara as a solo artist after having been the director and member since the mid-1950s of the folk group Cuncumán.
This recording featured a number of other notable Chilean folk artists such as Ángel Parra on charango in La cocinerita and Jai Jai and it also features Quilapayún in Deja la vida volar and Ojitos verdes.
The album included some of Jara's most popular folk songs: El arado, El cigarrito, and Paloma quiero contarte, which were translated and interpreted by artists in a number of languages in Europe.
This album was subsequently reissued as Canto a lo humano with different covers and art work in Spain, Germany and Mexico. The album was digitized and reissued by Warner Music in March 2001 with a new cover and liner notes featuring five extra tracks of Víctor Jara with the group Cuncumán.
