Рок-н-ролл
Rock and roll music was first produced in Chile in the late 1950s by bands that imitated and were inspired by international rock and roll hits from the U.S., often translating these songs for the Chilean market. This movement was known as the "Nueva Ola" (New Wave). During the second half of the 1960s, after the success of rock and roll music, the "Fusión latinoamericana" (Latin American fusion) and "Nueva Canción" (New Song) genres were born in Chile, bringing together rock and roll and Latin American folk music. Los Jaivas are an example of this fusion between the two convergent styles.
