  • Lovers and rulers, the real and the surreal: harmonic metaphors in Silvio Rodríguez’s songs Noriko Manabe Arte Cuba analysis nueva trova popular music politics—Cuba This article, which analyzes 136 of Silvio Rodríguez’s over 500 songs and providesa close reading of seventeen, highlights musical patterns that recur in songs withsimilar themes across three periods: 1967-1970, when Rodríguez was censured;1971-1989, when nueva trova became institutionalized; and post-1990, in Cuba’sSpecial Period. Differing viewpoints and emotions are often set in different keys(“Debo partirme en dos” (1969)); songs with a political message are set in simplerepeating patterns (“Resumen de noticias” (1969)); and many of his love songs arehighly chromatic or harmonically unstable (“Ojalᔠ(1969)). Double-plagalprogressions often signify fatalism and never-ending struggle (“Sueño conserpientes” (1974), “Reino de todavía” (1994)). Analyses are complemented byRodríguez’s comments regarding his creative process. 2006 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82201013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
