Someone added the following to Protest song, but it should be merged with this article. Common Man 02:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC) (This is right! New Song Movement is part of Protest Music and also part of Folk Music. 21 Feb 2007 - Can this be added to a new Topic called "New Song Movement"? Please!

"La Nueva Cancion" also known as "New Song Movement" or "Trova", a Latin American musical movement, born during the social movements of the early 1900s and the revolution of Allende in the 1970s is a great example of the power of music as a weapon to denounce, propose and unite, making the artist a key person to bring social changes. The assassination of Victor Jara, one of the key singers of the Nueva Canción movement, after the military coup in 1973 and the installation of a dictatorship of 17 years lead by the general Pinochet, shows the potential of the singer to help his people, and the danger he can represent for any regime. "There is no revolution without songs" wrote Salvador Allende.

[edit] Brazil

Shouldn't the Brazil section be named something else? Can't say I was there then, so maybe the Spanish term received some degree of usage I'm unaware of, but I've never really heard of this sort of movement there (and Caetano and Gil) called anything but Tropicalismo or Tropicalia. (Granted, Chico Buarque was kind of more on the outskirts of the Tropicalia movement...) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.152.89.75 (talk) 06:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
