Keywords:

For years, the content transmitted in the different media, especially radio, has allowed us to become acquainted with different types of music around the world. This is the case of the rancheras, a popular genre from Mexico that Chilean musicians adapted according to their context and traditions, which gradually allowed the solidification of its identity. This cultural expansion in Chile caused confrontations between musicians and the State, due to the political events that the Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s had generated. This period was characterized by deprivations of cultural exchange, censorship of record material, economic imbalance, among others.
