Chilean Music Post #4

Question #4- How does the culture of the country show/manifest in your topic?

               Music in Chile shows a lot in the culture. The songs are based on realities happening in Chile everyday. The daily troubles, the pleads for freedom, the showing of social justice. Some songs popular in Chile are based on religion. Religion music shows part of what makes up the Chilean culture. Like in most countries, people play instruments to relieve stress. Bond with people they don't bond with that often. And most of all, they play the instruments in their culture to be closer in friendship with the ones they love the most.
