Episode 68: La Nueva Cancion
This week we're getting historical, and exploring the Latin American folk music movement that was La Nueva Canci\xf3n. Fueled by leftist politics and the integration of indigenous musical elements and instruments, La Nueva Canci\xf3n produced incredible and inspirational folk music across the region and continues to influence the music we love today.\xa0\n\n***Also, we had a math struggle this epi! Violeta Parra was born in 1917, so she was actually in her 50s when she died, not in her 30s! Thank you Christina for pointing it out :)\n\nFeaturing music by Violeta Parra, Carlos Varela, Atahualpa Yupanqui, Ali Primera, Lourdes P\xe9rez and Victor Jara.\xa0\n\nShow notes: www.radiomenea.com/blog/2019/01/17/episode-68-la-nueva-cancion\n\nFollow us:\ninstagram.com/RadioMenea\ntwitter.com/RadioMenea\nfacebook.com/RadioMenea
