Аннотация: Cantautor is the word in the Spanish, Catalan and Galician languages coined in the 1960s to refer to a politically engaged singer who performed his/her own songs.In Basque, the term is kantari. 1 The output of these musicians was labelled canción de autor (literally author's song), or sometimes canción protesta (protest song). 2 This chapter deals with these early musicians and songs, from their emergence until the death of General Francisco Franco, that is, the second half of the Franco dictatorship (1959)(1960)(1961)(1962)(1963)(1964)(1965)(1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975).The context of late-Francoism is crucial in the birth and rise of the canción de autor.This emerged as a political action and flourished throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s.It was mainly a form of protest against the Franco regime and eventually declined in the 1980s with the consolidation of the democratic process. 3 This chapter is divided into two halves.The first describes the birth of the cantautor, originating in Catalonia in 1959 with the Nova Cançó (New Song) movement, and subsequently spreading to the rest of the country. 4Two particular idiosyncratic aspects of the canción de autor are emphasized here: 1) its close link to regional languages (in particular Catalan, Basque and Galician), and the decisive role that cantautores played in the recovery of these languages -heavily censored during the dictatorship -for public use; and 2) 1 Although the Basque term 'kantautore' is sometimes used, this is a neologism derived from Spanish that was not in use in the 1960s.Moreover, it has been openly rejected by Basque singer-songwriters, who prefer to use the term 'kantari' or 'abeslari', synonyms of 'singer' (personal communication of Karlos Sánchez Ekiza).2 Other terms nueva canción (new song) or canción política (political song) were used less frequently.Likewise, cantante-autor (singer-author) was used occasionally.3 A new generation of cantautores would appear from 1995 onwards (Pedro Guerra, Rosana, Ismael Serrano, etc.), claiming direct lineage from the pioneers of the 1960s and 1970s.Yet they would compose and sing in hugely contrasting historical and musical contexts.See del Val and Green's chapter in this volume. 4The term cantautor is used throughout this chapter to refer to those practitioners of canción de autor across Spain.Geographical distinctions between its variants across the various linguistic cultures of Spain will become clear over the course of this study.
