Música cebolla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Música cebolla (Spanish for "onion music") is a genre of Chilean music emphasising sentimentality and intimacy.[1] Indeed, at times the feelings expressed in música cebolla are "exacerbated".[1] Música cebolla had its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s,[1] and was thus contemporary to Nueva ola,[2] the early Nueva Canción and the introduction of Cumbia to Chile.[3]
