Question Answered step-by-step Nueva cancin , although originating in South America among artists… Nueva canción, although originating in South America among artists like Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, soon came to be an international movement. In other words, the political ideas in the lyrics and the spirit of protest which is central to nueva canción was taken up by singer-songwriters all around Latin America, and indeed, elsewhere around the world. The movement was also heavily inspired by US protest singers like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez in the 1960s.In some parts of Latin America, like Cuba, nueva canción is known by the name nueva trova (associated with artists from the 1970s and 1980s like Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés). Since the late 1990s, the new generation of protest singers in Cuba have gone by the name novísima trova (i.e. “very new trova”), and includes artists like Carlos Varela, Frank Delgado, and Pedro Luís Ferrer.Protest singers like those from nueva canción, nueva trova, and novísma trova have been known to use their music and lyrics to call attention to political or social issues in their respective countries and regions. For example, the novísima trova artists in Cuba often have lyrics that are critical of Cuban government policies. Of course, protest songs can be observed in many other genres as well, from rock to punk to hip hop. A recent example is the song “Patria y vida (Links to an external site.)” by a group of popular Cuban rappers, in which they openly denounced the dictatorship in Cuba (something that most Cuba-based artists tend to avoid for fear of reprisal/prison). (Click here (Links to an external site.) for “Patria y vida” with English translation).Here are some other local names of genres linked to or inspired by the nueva canción movement: canto nuevo  – Bolivianovo cançó  – Spain (Catalan)canto livre or nova canção  – PortugalTropicalismo  – Brazilnueva canción  – Argentina, Nicaragua, Mexicoand the list goes on… For this discussion, I’d like you to find a YouTube video (can be audio-only or an actual video) of a song from a protest singer(s). You can choose a singer/artist/group from anywhere around the world or from whatever genre, so long as you can tie it to protest or speaking out about a certain political or social issue. Provide the video link, the name of the artist or group, where they’re from, and a brief description about what issue they are protesting about or bringing awareness to.To give you some ideas of political/social issues that artists might touch on, here are some ideas: colonialism, war, racism, class or caste inequalities, issues related to gender or sexual orientation, worker exploitation, lack of freedom of expression, poverty, etc. Arts & Humanities Music MUH 3514 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
