Latin America's musical history is inextricably entangled with narratives of resistance and political struggle. Currently, Latin American music continues to be not only a reflection of social conditions, but also a tool used to fight for freedom, decolonisation, and democratic and social progress—a force where diverse cultural scenes congregate around shared values.

As those with progressive political views—particularly the underprivileged lower-class, women, queer people, and POC—face intense hostility, a new generation of activists are fervently resisting these developments. This panel will provide insights into the current political climate in various Latin American countries and discuss musicians’ role, radical practices, and strategies.
