Title: Música moderna y divulgación cultural en la revista de la Radio Nacional de Colombia, 1960
Abstract: This paper explores the notion of modernism, based on a series of articles published by the periodical Boletín de programas de la Radiodifusora Nacional de Colombia between 1959 and 1961 under the title Introduction to modern music. The discursive configuration that emerges from its texts, images and political environment in the middle of the last century, allows us to observe how in its pages various visions of what it means to be a culturally modern nation were put in tension, particularly those involving contemporary music, technological advances and the integration of popular traditions.
