It would gain great popularity throughout Latin America, and left an imprint on several other genres like Ibero-American rock, Cumbia and Andean music. Nueva canción renewed traditional Latin American folk music, and was soon associated with revolutionary movements, the Latin American New Left, Liberation Theology, hippie and human rights movements due to political lyrics. The musical style emerged shortly afterwards in other areas of Latin America where it came to be known under similar names. Nueva canción then surfaced almost simultaneously during the 1960s in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Spain. Songs reflecting conflict have a long history in Spanish, and in Latin America were particularly associated with the " corrido" songs of Mexico's War of Independence after 1810, and the early 20th Century years of Revolution. Nueva canción is widely recognized to have played a profound role in the pro-democracy social upheavals in Portugal, Spain and Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s, and was popular amongst socialist organizations in the region.
