Founded in 1982, volunteers from El Tecolote, New College of California and Bay Area musicians combined to produce a two-day music festival featuring local interpreters of the New Song Movement, a music tradition associated with the progressive cultural and political movements of the 1960s and 1970s which generated a rich legacy of songs expressing the joys, aspirations, and struggles of the peoples of the Caribbean and Latin America. The Encuentro has served to promote a musical expression that speaks to our hopes for social, economic and political justice, as well as our deep-rooted cultural traditions.
Now recognized as a San Francisco tradition, Encuentro del Canto Popular continues to preserve and promote local and international Latino music and performance art that represents non-commercial, humanitarian values and highlights issues of social justice. Adapting to the ebb and flow of the Nueva Cancion movement, the Encuentro del Canto Popular has kept its finger on the pulse of Latin American music.”
