Über Canción de Autor
Canción de autor is the Spanish singer-songwriter tradition, where poets set literary and often political lyrics to acoustic music. It flowered in the 1960s and 1970s as a vehicle of quiet resistance in the final years of the Franco dictatorship, with parallel movements like the Catalan Nova Cançó. Artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat and Joaquín Sabina turned personal storytelling into a national songbook.
