It is a tool for reporting and relief of conscience.

In Latin America not have failed revolutions of various kinds, with different characteristics and outcomes. And every revolutionary process in the past and present have had and have music feature. Many artists have had to go underground with their sounds, with their music.
The run is a genre of Mexican folk opera par excellence. This musical style is almost All Mexican territory with some nuances.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR

Europe also had revolu-tionary processes, their social and political conflicts accompanied by music. Another special of 2007 was one dedicated to the English civil war which had its particular popular song.
English Civil War passed between 1936 and 1939: Started following a military uprising originated in Morocco, headed by General Francisco Franco, which quickly spread throughout the country.
Nationalist forces occupied the English capital on March 28, 1939 and April 1, General Franco officially ended the war. And therefore, the principle of dictatorship. On September 29 the Board National Defense Franco appointed prime minister and commander of the Armed Forces.

The two opposing sides (the nationalist and republican army) joined the role of The International Brigades. These brigades exemplified as that generation at that time felt that the fight against fascism was beginning to settle in the English soil.

At the end of 1935 and following this shift to the right, began to take shape a broad coalition of leftist parties that are preparing for elections in February 1936 and shortly later be known as the Popular Front.

On the other hand, The National Front or Order was created to oppose their interests to those of the left in the closest election that Spain had previously lived.

So he took the military uprising that led to nearly three bloody years of civil war. The uprising began in Melilla on July 17, 1936 led by General Franco. By 22 July and you could say there was civil war in Spain.

So many artists

took it up and re versioned songs and hymns Republicans the time of the English civil war. Many representatives of the anti-fascist considered those events as a test of the Second World War. That is why until today, the theme is still valid, because the struggle continues. Artists like Quilapayún (Chile), Joan Manuel Serrat, Paco Ibanez, Rita Pavone, Chilean Rolando Alarcón, Banda Bassotti, Victor Jara, among many others have sung some of these songs.

Until 1937 Madrid had been the priority of the national army but it was not easy for Franco to conquer it, it took a good while. Thus, the heroic resistance from Madrid to the army of Franco was immortalized in these couplets Madrid defense in this case we interpret the unmistakable Joan Manuel Serrat.

NICARAGUA

Nicaragua has had its own particular revolutionary process, accompanied, of course, the music. Just as the Zapatistas today are inspired by the struggle waged by Emiliano Zapata in the revolution of the early twentieth century, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua resumed figure Augusto Cesar Sandino - the general of free men - that took up weapons with 29 miners gold mine San Albino in northern Nicaragua demanding the withdrawal of invading troops.

When expressing the withdrawal of invading troops, Sandino and his army defused an important group of people settled in an area of \u200b\u200bagricultural cooperatives in The Segovias (Wiwili).

Thereafter were harassed by the GN permanently. Sandino traveled to the capital - Managua - to meet with President Sacaza and discuss the situation. At the end of the meeting Sandino was assassinated along with his top aides by members of the GN orders of Somoza, the February 21, 1934. The next day the GN blood and fire swept through cooperatives, killing many of its members and destroying everything found.

The Sandinista National Liberation Front, is proposed to continue the trace of Sandino. The front was founded in 1961 as a politico-military, with the aim of overthrowing the Somoza dictatorship. objectives to reach in 1979 after fierce battles.

EZLN

Another revolutionary process underway in Latin America is that special arrangements have been practicing with the Zapatistas. Followers of the legacy of Emiliano Zapata, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), led an uprising in 1994 which meant the consolidation of five hundred years of struggle by indigenous peoples in a cry of "Enough." Indigenous and Peasants rebelled and took up arms some municipalities and since then have been building autonomy in rebellion, radio, magazine, hospitals and schools in the autonomous municipalities themselves, developing trade and concrete actions with organizations, groups and individuals in Chiapas The rest of Mexico and the world.

In 2004 he launched the campaign for the double anniversary of the EZLN, 20 years after his birth and 10 years of the uprising that became known in the world. Shouting "and just "joined many groups around the world and of course musicians and poets echoed their demands.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SENDING IT UP AND DOWN THE MILITARY OBEDIENCE. Today shoes for military power is subordinate to civil power.

Who organized governance boards in each of the political and civic centers called snails carry out the maximum of obeying and rule from the bottom left. Ago several years that the revolutionary process conceived in Chiapas has been making use of the word and not the fire.

The EZLN held six public declarations of the Lacandon jungle. The Sixth led to the gestation of a national plan of struggle that was strengthened by the actions known as "The Other Campaign." An entire program would address in detail the socio-political situation of the Zapatistas, as each of the situations we have come in today's Music Without Maps. Another program we would analyze the music being played over and that has accompanied the processes of resistance in our own country during times dictatorial and even democracy. Today we choose to share some of the sounds of the world have been hand in hand with processes that transcend the music but that also constitute the culture of each people. The ideas of freedom, revolution and resistance. The project to maintain a cultural identity for the attacks on foreigners. Let's close listening to one of the many musical art events that have accompanied it from the beginning, the Zapatista struggle as we said at the beginning of the program is all the struggles. Because beyond the particularities and various historical contexts of revolutionary events (Sandino, Cuba, the English Civil War, Venezuela, Chiapas) there are demands that have to do with the dignity of men and women, the struggle for recognition and respect for the other, different. The Zapatista struggle for a world where many worlds fit, is a collective struggle that concerns not just Chiapas or Mexico.

mentioned in the double anniversary of the EZLN released 4 CDs that accompanied the launch of "the fire and the word" journalist Gloria Muñoz Ramirez.

In those records artists from different latitudes exclaimed to join the Zapatista struggle. The English group "Acts against decorum "originated in Madrid in 1995. is clearly a militant group. The group experienced the mixture of different rhythms like rock, hip hop and electronic music from the hand of Latin influences of Caribbean music and reggae .

created in 1998 Rabiamuffin Cultural Association in order to meet energy and support social movements like the Zapatistas in Chiapas.

In 2001 the group separated and some of its members continued mixing rhythms from the Latin rock group "Waste". The group participated Volume 1 of the collection of artists who adhere to Chiapas in this double anniversary of the EZLN. Acts against decency are collective voice of the cry that demands a world where many worlds fit.
