"Nueva Canción Chilena" is a music movement that emerged in Chile during the 1960s and 1970s. It combines traditional Latin American folk music with contemporary themes, often addressing social and political issues. This movement sought to promote cultural identity and raise awareness about the struggles faced by marginalized communities in Chile. Key figures in this movement include artists like Victor Jara and Violeta Parra, who used their music to advocate for social justice and human rights. The movement gained prominence during the Allende government and was later suppressed during the military dictatorship, but it continues to influence musicians and activists today.
