Nueva trova is a movement in Cuban music that emerged around 1967/68 after the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and the consequent political and social changes.Nueva trova has its roots in the traditional trova but differs from it because its content is in the widest sense political. It combines traditional folk music idioms with ‘progressive’ and often politicized lyrics. It is related to nueva canción in Latin America especially Chile and Argentina.
