Trova is a Latin American music genre that blends heartfelt poetry with acoustic guitar, creating a rich tapestry of songs that express personal, social, and political themes. Originating from the Cuban troubadour tradition, the genre has given voice to a collective Latin American consciousness, featuring lyrical storytelling that often addresses human rights and justice. Artists in the trova tradition, like Pablo Milanés and Victor Jara, are known for their soulful melodies and evocative lyrics, which reflect both the intimate experiences of individuals and the broader struggles of society. Trova performances tend to be emotive and contemplative, with a focus on the messages conveyed through the lyrics. This genre transcends mere entertainment, often serving as a powerful medium for commentary and a call for change.
