Cuban Nueva Canción is a music movement that emerged in the late 1960s in Cuba. It combines traditional folk music with socially and politically conscious lyrics, often addressing issues like social justice, identity, and the struggles of the Cuban people. The movement sought to promote cultural pride and awareness through song. Key figures in Cuban Nueva Canción include artists like Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés, who used their music to inspire change and reflect the realities of life in Cuba. The movement has influenced many other Latin American music styles and continues to resonate with audiences today.
