Nueva canción

Nueva canción (literally, new song ') is a form of political song that originated in Latin America. This form of Latin music first emerged in the 1950s and 1960s in the South American countries - Argentina, Chile and Uruguay - but soon became popular in Central America.

Characteristics, origin and spread

Violeta Parra began in the 1950s, the folk music of rural Chile to explore and combined them with newer social critical elements. Your children Isabel and Angel initiated from 1965, Club La Peña de los Parra in Santiago de Chile, where often Víctor Jara occurred.

Musically draws the Nueva canción from Andean music, Música negra, Spanish music, Cuban music and other Latin American folklore. The most important source is the Chilean cueca, a rural song-form.

Typical topics of Nueva canción, the poverty of the people, their struggle for better living conditions, the Unidad Popular, imperialism, democracy, human rights and religion. Accordingly, many protest songs were written.

The coup against Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973 influenced the growth of the genre heavily, because the whole musical movement had to go into hiding. During the days of the coup, the well-known singer and songwriter Víctor Jara was tortured and killed by the new regime of Augusto Pinochet. Groups such as Inti Illimani -, Quilapayún and Tiempo Nuevo found refuge outside the country. The military government of Pinochet was in power until 1989 and banned traditional Andean musical instruments, in order to suppress the Nueva Canción - movement. After the departure of Pinochet's the stadium where Victor Jara was murdered was renamed Estadio Víctor Jara.

Most of the songs are from the guitar and often the quena, zampoña, the charango or cajón accompanied. The text is mostly in Spanish with a few words in indigenous languages.

While Chile produced the most Nueva canción - artist, in almost all Spanish speaking Latin American countries was the Nueva canción popular, and was in the 1970s, also popular in Europe.
