Abstract

Since last times, woman has assumed the traditional role of mother, wife and housewife. Certainly, this model has transferred from generation to generation until our days, because Cuba continues with marked characteristic of patriarchal society. However, after the Revolutionary triumph in 1959, women acquire a group of freedom and rights that, in the practice, they equalized with men of the nation. Music constituted one element of expression to women whereby they declared their earned progresses of genre. They do not define in the melodic texts as the former woman: submissive, denigrated and devaluated; they defended like empowerment ladies. The popular songs in the Cuban Revolution of 1959 operated like mechanism of defense of women to reaffirm her rights. Woman of those times liberalized her. She became more independent, more enabled to take decision. Her speech changed with the new times; although she has been devaluing and abusing in the recent musical texts with major frequency, they utilize the popular songs like a flag to reaffirm their empowerment in the community.
