Unlike much of the literature on Venezuela in the Ch�vez period, this book shifts focus away from 'top down' perspectives to examine how Venezuelan folksinger Al� Primera (1942-1985) became intertwined with Venezuelan politics, both during his lifetime and posthumously. Al�'s 'Necessary Songs' offered cultural resources that enabled Ch�vez to connect with pre-existing patterns of grassroots activism in ways that resonated deeply with the poor and marginalised masses. Official support for Al�'s legacy led the songs to be used in new ways in the Ch�vez period, as Venezuelans actively engaged with them to redefine themselves in relation to the state and to reach new understandings of their place within a changed society. This book is essential reading not only for those interested in popular music and politics, but for all those seeking to better understand how Ch�vez was able to successfully identify himself so profoundly with the Venezuelan masses, and they with him.
