The music is revolution...

I really like listen to music, but not everything. I like specifically “CANTO NUEVO” and “NUEVA CANCIÓN CHILENA”…

Some of the singers and groups of music like me are: Patricio Manns, Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, Schwenke y Nilo, Los Blops, Congreso, Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Quilapyún, etc.

First, I talk about the Nueva Canción Chilena; this is a musical, social and politic movement that lived in Chile in the 60` and 70`. Musically, the movement revives the native Andean sounds and the American popular folklore.  The movement had a politic side, because give an anti imperialism and anti fascist message.

My favorite singer is Patricio Manns, I really likes his songs, because are poetic and social messages. He is singer, essayist, novelist and poet; and a very important exponent of the Nueva Canción Chilena and popular Chilean music.

Patricio Manns is my favorite, but I like a lot of other singers.

I like Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, both exponent of the folklore and the popular Chilean music. I think that the Violeta, Patricio and Victor are the pillar and the three most important popular Chilean singers.

Too, I like the Canto Nuevo, this is a movement later to the Nueva Canción, and lived in Chile in the 70` during the “Regimen Militar”. Then, this is a political and social movement that was opposition to the Dictadura and had a strong socialist message. This movement was persecuted and the singers exiled.

The important of the Canto Nuevo, is that was a way of expression of the social and politic discontent. The music was a way of expressing things that were censored.

Some exponents of the Canto Nuevo were Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, Schwenke y Nilo, Rolando Alarcon, Ortiga, Eduardo Peralta, Quilapayún, Inti Illimani and others.

 Finally, I think that this music is really important in the music history of Chile, and show the relation between history and art.
