Abstract

This article explores the transformations that Chilean art music and popular music experimented during the 1960’s, considering the demands produced to the Chilean music by its social settings; the ways the new European influences were administrated; and the encounter between popular culture and the academy. To this effect, the cases of the art composers Juan Orrego Salas, Roberto Falabella, Sergio Ortega and Luis Advis, and of the popular musicians Violeta Parra, Víctor Jara and Quilapayún are considered. The article tries to define a Chilean plural identity through music, considering the artistic and popular musical expressions of the sixties, where both imitative and assimilative cultural practices, and synthetic and new cultural practices were expressed.
