À propos de ce contenu audio
In the early 1980s, Nicaragua was rebuilding itself after revolution and the soundtrack of that transformation was carried not just in speeches, but in song.
In this episode of Echoes from the Ash Grove, we revisit a broadcast that takes listeners on a journey through post-Somozan Nicaragua using folk music as a guide. From literacy brigades to cooperative farms, from community choirs to traveling troubadours, the program explores how traditional melodies were reshaped to reflect a new political and cultural identity.
These weren’t abstract anthems. They were songs about land, labor, memory, and belonging — performed in plazas, schools, and village gatherings. Through them, we hear how a nation in transition tried to narrate itself.
This episode asks: what does a revolution sound like when the guns fall quiet? And how do folk traditions adapt when history suddenly accelerates?
Echoes from the Ash Grove continues its exploration of the place where music, politics, and cultural memory meet — one broadcast at a time.
