Since April 28, Colombia has been embroiled in widespread protests<\/a> which began in response to controversial fiscal reforms proposed by the government of President Iv\u00e1n Duque but have continued even after the withdrawal of the reforms due to the government’s brutally violent response to the protesters. Despite protests being primarily peaceful, there have been at least 26 deaths and hundreds of injuries so far. The Atlantic<\/a> has a photo series<\/a> on these protests. Latin American communities have a long history of making their voices heard in many different forms of protest, including a type called cacerolazo. This form of protest, which is traced back to 19th century France, involves protesters making noise on common household items like pots and pans and is a popular and accessible way to draw attention to an issue that has been used in many Latin American social movements including those in Colombia.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The Bogot\u00e1 Post<\/a> has an article (linked here<\/a>) from November 2019 (during another lengthy protest regarding proposed reforms by Duque, among other things) on the cacerolazo and what it means to Colombians living in Bogot\u00e1. UCLA’s Ethnomusicology Review<\/a>\u00a0has further\u00a0information on\u00a0Chilean cacerolazo<\/a>\u00a0from June 2020 that also talks about other contemporary forms of protest including social media and music, and\u00a0Flypaper<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0a piece from July 2019<\/a> that focuses on this and other forms of musical protest used in Puerto Rico at that time.<\/div>\n
