Cantautor

Cantautor is a Spanish music genre that combines elements of folk, rock, and pop music. It is characterized by its poetic lyrics and often political themes. The genre originated in the 1960s and 1970s in Spain and Latin America, and is often associated with singer-songwriters such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Victor Jara, and Mercedes Sosa. Cantautor songs often focus on social issues, such as poverty, injustice, and inequality. The genre has been popularized by artists such as Manu Chao, Calle 13, and Silvio Rodriguez.
