In the early 1960s, musicians, intellectuals, and students with a
hunger for something of their own began to play music in the
folkloric style of their country. Borrowing and combining
instruments and forms from all over Latin America, they created a
musical movement known as La Nueva Cancion or New Song. Their
songs were poetry and social commitment set to the traditional music
of Latin America, and they sparked a popular movement of social
change. Los Angeles-based band Huayucaltia guides you through the
music, instruments and history of this movement.
