I can't translate "canción de autor." It seems like this means "singer-songwriter music," but it also refers to setting to music poetry NOT written by the singer / composer him or herself. Those three things go together: singing a folksong, writing a poem and then setting it to music / singing it // Taking someone else's poem, setting it to music and singing it.
So a folk-singer: sings a folk song
A singer-song writer (who might also be a folksinger) writes his / her own songs and sings them.
A ???, who might also be a folksinger and / or a singer-songwriter, uses texts from the literary tradition as lyrics.
