Nueva Canción
"Nueva Canción" is a music movement that emerged in Latin America during the 1960s and 1970s. It combines traditional folk music with contemporary themes, often addressing social issues, political struggles, and cultural identity. Artists sought to revive and celebrate indigenous and regional musical styles while promoting social change.
Key figures in the movement include Mercedes Sosa, Victor Jara, and Pablo Milanés. Their songs often feature powerful lyrics that resonate with the experiences of marginalized communities. The movement played a significant role in the fight against oppression and has influenced various genres of music across the globe.
