ResumoThe author tackles dictatorial period in Uruguay (1973-1985) and shows how censorship did not manage to stop thecoming out of numerous poets and artists who, following the precursor way of the Uruguayan poet Bartolomé Hidalgo (1788-1822), registered the historical and cultural processes that happened in Uruguay. Under extremely severe conditions, the creative freedom of most musitians made itself present as a political commitment to counterbalance one of the worst dictatorships in Latin America, that, almost in unison, alsohappened in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. She highlights two exponents that, in her understading, synthesize the highest exercise of creative freedom in the second half of the 20th century: Alfredo Zitarrosa and Eduardo Mateo.
