Chilean rock refers to rock music and its corresponding subgenres produced in Chile or by Chileans. Chilean rock lyrics are usually sung in Spanish. Rock music was first produced in Chile in the late 1950s by bands that imitated, and sometimes translated, international rock and roll hits from the U.S. This movement was known as the ''Nueva Ola'' (New Wave).〔(Nueva Ola ) www.musicapopular.cl.

Retrieved 24 February 2013.〕 During the second half of the 1960s, after the success of rock and roll music, the ''Fusión latinoamericana'' (Latin American fusion) and ''Nueva Canción'' (New Song) genres were born in Chile, bringing to fame artists like Violeta Parra and Victor Jara.〔(Fusión latinoamericana ) www.musicapopular.cl. Retrieved 24 February 2013.〕 In the 1970s, however, there was a decline in the country's rock scene as a result of the military dictatorship imposed by the 1973 coup d'état. From 1973 to 1990, all forms of rock music were prohibited (along with an important part of the cultural life), causing stagnation in the music industry.〔Morris, Nancy. 1986. Canto Porque es Necesario Cantar: The New Song Movement in Chile, 1973-1983. ''Latin American Research Review'', Vol. 21, pp. 117-136.〕 The 1980s saw the beginning of a revival for Chilean rock music, with several Chilean bands finding overseas success in recent years along with the growth of many rock subgenres. ==The advent of rock and roll== Rock and roll originated in the United States in the late 1940s and 1950s and expanded rapidly around the world. In the late 1950s, the first Chilean rock and roll bands emerged, largely imitating popular North American bands and performing rock and roll songs they were already hits in the U.S.〔 Some of the first Chilean rock and roll bands included William Reb y sus Rock Kings, Harry Shaw and Los Truenos (The Thunder), which performed versions of Elvis Presley tracks in 1956-57 and would later go on to record versions of Beatles songs. However, William Reb felt he never received the credit he deserved for his part in Chilean rock and roll.〔(Williams Rebolledo: la historia del olvidado primer rockero chileno ) Mauricio Jürgensen, www.latercera.cl. Retrieved 28 February 2013.〕 Chile’s first solo rock and roll artists were Peter Rock, with his Elvis Presley cover ''Baby, I Don't Care/Something Happened'' (1959), and Nadia Milton, with her single ''Scobidou/Un poco'' (1960). The twist was also very popular in the 1950s, imported to Chile by the band Los Twisters with the singles ''Penas juveniles'', ''Caprichitos'', ''Me recordarás'', ''Sueña'' and ''Mi secreto''. In 1963, Los Twisters were voted the most popular band in Chile.〔(Biografía de Luis Dimas ) Musicapopular.cl.
