Collection: Nueva Cancion

Nueva Cancion, which translates to "New Song" in English, is a diverse and politically charged Latin American music genre that emerged in the 1960s. This musical movement blends traditional folk elements with contemporary styles, often addressing social and political issues. Nueva Cancion encompasses various sub-genres, each reflecting the unique cultural heritage of different regions. These include the poetic Folklore Argentino and its modern counterpart, Folklore Nuevo Argentino, as well as the troubadour-inspired Trova. The genre also embraces children's music through Cancion Infantil Latinoamericana, while Canto Popular Uruguayo represents the Uruguayan branch of this movement. Additionally, Nueva Cancion incorporates lively dance rhythms like Guaracha Santiaguena from Chile and the fusion of Andean and Mexican influences in Cumbia Andina Mexicana, demonstrating the genre's ability to evolve and incorporate diverse musical traditions.
