This article deals with the figure of the Chilean composer Gustavo Becerra Schmidt as an intellectual musician in Latin America and the identity problem in his work/opus «Revolución». For this, we have opted for a historical-aesthetic perspective in order to comprehend the music’s identity problem from the Romanticism and the paradigm of speculative theory to the problem of the New Chilean Song. This continuum is put into crisis with the arrival of works that incorporated outsider musical and sound elements from Latin America and the New Chilean Song’s aesthetic. Becerra Schmidt’s work «Revolución» is analysed to demonstrate the musical and political elements that conform it and how through his use the New Chilean Song reaches the limits of its proposal/ idea as an experience of popular music in Latin America.Downloads
