Though the genre is not especially active today, the legacy of figures like Violeta Parra is enormous. Parra's music continues to be recorded by contemporary artists and her song "Gracias a la Vida" was recorded by supergroup Artists for Chile in an effort to raise relief funds in the wake of the 2010 Chilean earthquake. The protests that began in October 2019 have showed a strong resurgence of Nueva Cancin as curfewed residents began performing the music of Violeta Parra and Victor Jara [21] and soon major artists began adapting and writing politically motivated music backing the protests and critical of the Piera government.[22]
