Música cebolla

Música cebolla (Spanish for "onion music") is a genre of Chilean music emphasising sentimentality and intimacy. Indeed, at times the feelings expressed in música cebolla are "exacerbated". Música cebolla had its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, and was thus contemporary to Nueva ola, the early Nueva Canción and the introduction of Cumbia to Chile.
