Singing in Solidarity: The Latin American Protest Song Movement and the Vietnam War

Protest in the Vietnam War Era

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements ((PSHSM))

Abstract

During the “long” 1960s, music played a significant but underappreciated role in promoting political radicalism and connecting far-flung social movements. This chapter examines a set of compositions and cover songs created by Latin American musicians between 1967 and 1973 in reaction to the Vietnam War. These songs belonged to a broader “playlist of protest,” a transnational repertoire of music composed during the 1960s to grow support for revolutionary politics across the Third World by fostering a shared language and sound of dissent. The project was rooted in Third-Worldism and transnational solidarity, ideas that were crucially shaped in 1967 during a protest music conference held in Cuba and attended by musicians from all six continents. This chapter shows that Third-World radicals used music during the “protest decade” to transcend geographical/cultural differences, creating a common music industry to fight against imperialist modes of cultural production.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Acknowledgments: This chapter has benefitted from the invaluable contributions of my professors, colleagues, and friends at Stony Brook University in the Department of History and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Due to limited space, I can only single out a few individuals by name. First, I want to thank Alexander Sedlmaier, the editor of this volume, for giving me the opportunity to take part in this important scholarly project. Second, I thank my advisor, Professor Eric Zolov, for his continuous lessons and dedicated and ever-insightful feedback that has greatly enhanced my work. Third, I must acknowledge Professors Lori Flores, Brooke Larson, and Ben Tausig for their thorough and thoughtful advice. Additionally, I owe a deep debt to my colleague and friend Spencer Austin, who has served as a generous editor and helped me to overcome the complex challenges of writing in my second language. Finally, I want to thank my friends **mena López Carrillo and Lance Boos for their insightful comments and critiques that have helped me to refine the arguments presented in this chapter.

[…] Los trabajadores de la canción protesta deben tener conciencia de que la canción, por su particular naturaleza, posee una enorme fuerza de comunicación con las masas, en tanto que rompe las barreras que, como el analfabetismo, dificultan el diálogo del artista con el pueblo de cual forma parte. En consecuencia, la canción debe ser un arma al servicio de los de lo pueblos, no un producto de consumo utilizado por el capitalismo para enajenarlos.

    “Los investigdores, creadores e intérpretes musical debemos […] resistir a la penetración imperialista, desenmascarar y denunciar todo organismo que, bajo cualquier pantalla sirva a ésta, y a las tácticas diversionistas que se valen de seudorrevolucionarios, y rechazar la enajenación incorporándonos, con nuestra acción y nuestra obra, al combate de nuestros pueblos por su independencia integral, que da muestras de originalidad revolucionaria en la continua creatividad práctica y teórica marxista basada en la lucha de clases […].
