The last years of Spain under Franco were shattered by a generation of singers that claimed and called for democracy. In this context, ''La Nova Cançó'' is the protest song musical and political movement of artists singing in Catalan, like Lluís Llach, Raimon or Ovidi Montllor. In the late 1960s and during the 1970s, the ''Nova Cançó'' movement introduced lyrics in Catalan in contemporary music in order to reach wider audiences (until then, this language was only used in folk songs); then, by the 1980s and the return to democracy in Spain, their popularity was waning.

This made possible the formation of several bands singing in Catalan and, with them, the int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
