YMMV / Los Jaivas

• Bittersweet Ending: After a long ride of progressive songs, Obras De Violeta Parra ends on this, due to its last two songs:
  • As if the lyrics, talking about the singer's nostalgia for Chile, weren't sad enough, "Violeta Ausente" is an upbeat cueca^note popular traditional genre in some Hispanic countries, especially Chile version of the song. It's even sadder if you're a Chilean out of your country.
  • The album finishes with a short, slow, instrumental version of "Que Pena Siente El Alma", an already melancholic song.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: The band's debut album, El Volantin is known for this. Almost the entire album is composed of long, drawn-out improvisations. The only songs that closely resemble a finished song ("Que O La Tumba Seras" and "Foto De Primera Comunion") are still, more-or-less, improvisation works. The only "normal" song in the entire album, Bolerito ^note Small Bolero, is just 26 seconds long.
  • Also, the album's musical style in general is this, as it features a more tropical, Cuban style, similar to their beginnings, in contrast to the Andean style of the following albums.
• Fan Nickname: The band's first three albums (not including Los Sueños de America), which are self-titled, have these, based on their front covers. Two of those nicknames (El Volantin and La Ventana) are official, while their 1975 album still keeps the band's name.
• Tear Jerker: Many songs contain sounds, melodies and lyrics so beautiful that it will make you cry. Particularly "Mira Niñita".
• Nightmare Fuel: Some of their early improvisations can come as creepy, such as "Ultimo Dia", "Ciclo Vital", "Traguito De Ron", etc.
• What Could Have Been: Not confirmed, but the title of Trilogia implies that there could've been more similar albums planned.
