Daniel Viglietti wrote on the jacket of his first recording that he grew up listening to all the songs of Antonio Tormo played on his uncle’s record player. That has been true for almost three generations of South Americans who know by heart most of Tormo’s songs. Actually, most of the songs that Antonio Tormo sings are not his, but perhaps his way of singing them, maybe the careful selection of this recorded repertoire, has made people indentify the songs with him. Many other songs were not known before Tormo recorded them and almost all of them became "hits" in his interpretation.
En la contraportada de su primer disco, Daniel Viglietti escribió que toda su niñez la vivió escuchando las canciones de Antonio Tormo en el tornamesa de su tío. Esa experiencia ha sido cierta para por lo menos tres generaciones de suramericanos que conocen de memoria muchas de las canciones de Tormo. De hecho, muchas de estas canciones no son de su autoría, pero quizás la manera de interpretarlas, o la cuidadosa selección de su repertorio, han hecho que la gente identifique las canciones con él. Muchas de las canciones no era conocidas antes de que Tormo las grabara, y casi todas ellas se convirtieron en "hits" en su versión.

"Un observador casual puede pensar que toda la música folclórica latinoamericana tuvo su orígen en una única fuente común. Las baladas, romances, canciones infantiles y de cuna, las danzas de cortejo y los villancicos navideños ciertamente evocan la herencia española en la música de la región. Sin embargo, en el siglo XIX las colonias consiguieron su independencia de España, y sus horizontes culturales se expandieron más allá de las fronteras de la Madre Patria. Desde los elegantes salones de París, Praga, Varsovia y Viena fueron importadas danzas y canciones románticas hacia el Nuevo Mundo..."

The groups extended the work of two of its members who had been singing Latin American music at peñas and solidarity events in northern California for over a year, forming a versatile six member performing group with a broad instrumental and vocal repertoire. The goals of the group were twofold: to make known the music and culture of the Latin American people, and to give support through their music to the resistance movement in Chile and to liberation movements in Latin America and throughout the world.
El Grupo Raíz se conformó en La Peña Cultural Center en Berkeley, California, al comienzo de 1980.
