The main musicians of the new song movement

There are three key musicians who laid the foundation of the new song movement, namely Argentine Atahualpa Yupanqui 1908- 1992 and Cuban Carlos. Puebla 19 17+07 1 and violetta Barra, Chile. In the 1950s, their works were a bridge between rural and urban music cultures. Yupanqui and Parra went deep into the folk, collected many songs and sang them, while Puebla lived in a rich tradition of country songs. They are all based on traditional songs, using some new materials to create, and have accumulated quite a few tracks.

1960, the new song movement appeared as a real force in society. At that time, many Latin American governments, with the support of the United States, tried to carry out some democratic reforms, such as expanding people's voting rights and reforming education and agricultural systems, in order to resist the influence of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. These changes have indeed brought vitality to the society, but they have also ignited nationalism against the influence of the United States, and launched a wide-ranging struggle for national self-determination when exploring the cultural integration of Latin America.

The concept of new song movement first appeared in Argentina, 1962, and the reporter circle magazine reported that famous singers Mercedes Sosa and Armando tejado Gomez participated in the "new concert". At this concert, Argentine local song styles, such as Chacarrera, Zamba and Chamaeme, were revived. Sosa's beautiful and moving songs and her carefully selected tracks made the concert a great success, and she also became an internationally renowned singer. But Argentina's new song movement is not as popular as other Latin American countries.

In Chile, with outstanding musicians like violetta Barra and Victor Geri, the new song movement has flourished. Parra inherited the tradition of Payadol, a folk poet and singer. She was particularly keen to introduce the instruments of the Indians in the Andean Plateau into Santiago, Chile, such as bamboo flute, flute and chalongoqen. Barbara once lived in Paris, and she also liked traditional French chansons songs very much, so her works were also influenced by chansons.

From 1965 to 1967, Barbara hosted a music club in San Diego. She sang all kinds of songs adapted and composed by herself. The content of the song is both about love and people's daily life. Some of them sharply exposed social injustice, shouted for the tragic experience of the poor, and aroused strong repercussions in society. There is a famous song called "Everything is Upside Down". The lyrics are as follows: "Idiot becomes a teacher, robber becomes a president, thief becomes a judge, everything is upside down … and so on". 1967, she committed suicide. Her son Angel and daughter Isabel inherited her career and continued to sing in San Diego. It was not until Pinochet, the dictator of Chile, came to power that they were forced into exile in Europe and sang new songs all over the world.

Victor Hala is a drama director, singer and songwriter. He pushed the new song movement to a bigger stage. Even after he was murdered on 1973, his songs were sung for many years. He comes from a poor immigrant family and lives on his relatives selling vegetables in the vegetable market. She often sings songs for people's weddings, funerals and festivals. Hala learned a lot of songs from relatives, mastered the clear and elegant singing style, and closely cooperated with singing and playing guitar.

Many songs by Victor Hala aroused people's excitement and even fanaticism in Chile in 1960s. His playful version of a traditional song "The Nun" expressed the inner desire of a nun and was banned. Another song is Ask Bourdaud Monty. At that time, a group of poor landless peasants were murdered. Bourdaud Monti was the then Minister of the Interior, and he was duty-bound. But this song was also banned. He has his own unique view on singers: "The real revolution should be behind the guitar, so the guitar has become a tool of struggle, and it should be shot like a gun." Another song he wrote, "Pray for Laborers", won the first new song festival and won the hearts of the people. His favorite song is "Remember Amanda", which is a wonderful and passionate love song. British musician Robert Waite sang this song again in 1980, and achieved magical results.

1991April, in Santiago Stadium, Chilean artists, dancers, actors, street musicians and traditional Bayadol singers gathered together to celebrate the downfall of Chilean dictator and executioner Pinochet and mourn the martyrs who died for the revolution in the past, including former Chilean presidents Allende and Victor Halla. 18 years ago,1September, 973, it was here that Hala was captured by the reactionary army. He was pierced by government bullets and exposed to the concrete floor. Nowadays, people are all singing Canto Libre, a famous song written and sung by Hara, in the same place.

The influence of the New Song Movement and violetta Barra and Victor Hala has already transcended national boundaries. Cancion para mi America, written by Daniel Viguerie, a singer and songwriter in Niagaragui, is one of the earliest works of the new song movement in Latin America. Its lyrics are like this: "reach out to the Indian, it will make you happy, and he will tell you." This song has spread to every country in Latin America and even to Spain under Franco's dictatorship.

Viguerie Ti wrote a series of songs, including the famous "Milonga de andar lejos". One of the lyrics reads: "I want to break this life, how I hope to change it." 1969 also wrote a famous song "Tearing down the Fence", which advocated that the tiller should have land and redistribute the land. This song was banned by the authorities, and he was put in prison on 1972. He was released under the protest of people all over the world.
