"The book explores the origin and development of Mexican Canto Nuevo, a musical and cultural movement that influenced Mexican music, politics, and culture from the 1960s to the late 1980s. It delves into several aspects of Canto Nuevo's evolution, from its origins during the 1968 student movement to its peak and eventual decline in the late 1980s. Discussions range from Canto Nuevo's nomenclature and temporality to the Marxist/humanist principles that defined the movement's lyrical production and governed the lives of its participants to the folklorization processes that were at the core of Canto Nuevo's origins and development and the politicized responses they elicited. The book thoroughly explores the work of some of the movement's most prominent artists, among them Los Folkloristas, Judith Reyes, José de Molina, León Chávez Teixeiro, Óscar Chávez, Los Nakos, Margarita Bauche, Enrique Ballesté, Amparo Ochoa, La Peña Móvil, Gabino Palomares, and several others. It discusses Canto Nuevo's relationship with other militant song movements, such as Chilean Nueva Canción and Cuban Nueva Trova, reasserting Mexican Canto Nuevo into current academic discussions on the pan-Latin American Nueva Canción movement of the 1960s-1980s. The last four chapters offer a chronological analysis of main events, peñas, artists' organizations, record labels, festivals, and albums. They also clarify the complex relationship between the Mexican state and Canto Nuevo, explaining the climate of hostile tolerance in which it developed"--
