Abstract
SAMACA, GABRIEL DAVID. Love Songs that Kill the Damned Hatred of the Yankee Oppressor: Insurgent Music and Political Discourse of the FARC-EP. Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.2, pp.227-259. ISSN 0120-2456. https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v44n2.64022.
The historiography regarding the Colombian armed conflict has tended to ignore the analysis of its cultural dimensions. In contrast with other political processes in Latin America, little is known about the aesthetic expressions of the main actors of the Colombian confrontation. The article contributes to the knowledge about the symbolic universe and political discourse of the FARC-EP by inquiring into the construction of a collective identity on the basis of their musical production. Through the analysis of an anthology of the music of this insurgent group, the study addresses the meanings that the guerrilla group conveyed to its militants and sympathizers at the beginning of the 21st century. This analysis focuses on two ideological references typical of the Cold War period: Marxism and anti-imperialism
