National and Popular Dilemmas in the Nueva Canción Peruana Movement: Examples Related to the Taller de la Canción Popular (ca. 1974-1980s)
Abstract
This article partially recreates the evolution of the Nueva Canción Peruana (New Peruvian Song) movement by analysing several examples related to the Taller de la Canción Popular (Popular Song Workshop) at the Escuela Nacional de Música (National Music School) (1974-1979). It describes and analyses the conditions, contents and results of the adaptation of the model of the Nueva Canción Chilena, both in relation to the self-criticism within the Peruvian movement and its critics. The situation defined a series of problems of a national and popular nature, involving the cultural policy of the Gobierno Revolucionario de las Fuerzas Armadas (Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru), the aesthetic horizons of the workshop participants, the organisation of folklore in the city of Lima, the rise of the left and the aesthetic, social and political functions of socially committed song.
