Canto nuevo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canto Nuevo or Nueva canción is a form of folk music that developed in South America.
Originally practised by artists like Violeta Parra, Victor Jara, and Argentinian singer Atahualpa Yupanqui, it gained prominence in Chile where it became a method for resistance under Pinochet in the 1970s.
Canto Nuevo may also refer to the Cuban music movement inspired by the 1960s music of North America
