Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the emergence of militant music in Chilean popular music in the context of the country’s Social Outbreak in 2019 and its connection to the Nueva Canción Chilena (Chilean New Song, CNS) movement. This new wave of resistance songs not only captures CNS’s revolutionary spirit and aims for social justice but also adapts it to the socio-political landscape of the Outbreak. By embracing popular music forms and using digital platforms for their distribution, these songs can reach wider audiences, not just those affiliated with a political ideology, to expand their messages. The study, through a multimodal discourse analysis of songs from both musical eras, underscores the role of music in shaping public discourse, memory, and solidarity. It shows how these modern songs critique social injustices, amplify marginalized voices, and maintain a connection to a revolutionary past, thereby influencing and shaping the public narrative. The research highlights the enduring power of resistance music in supporting activist efforts and contributing to socio-cultural renewal.
