We elected the popular cantata Santa María de Iquique (1970) – composed by Luis Advis and performed by the group Quilapayún – as representative of the link between elements historically conceived as belonging to separate spheres (classical, popular and folk; art and politics). We seek to demonstrate how the aesthetic and thematic choices that characterize this opus closely dialogue with its political context, when there was a great expectation in the rising of a left-wing government and the intent to use the artistic milieu as a battlefield. |
