During the signing of his National Reconstruction Plan, President Jos\u00e9 Antonio Kast concluded his remarks by stating: \u201cThe number one task is to generate employment, everything else is just ‘music’.\u201d<\/b> The statement, unfortunate in itself and reminiscent of a similar phrase uttered by then-President Ricardo Lagos, is symptomatic in the current context, in which a worrying lack of interest from the government in the country’s cultural and musical activity has been observed. In his few weeks in office, <\/span>we have noticed a cut of more than 3% in the portfolio, managed by a minister who believes there is “excessive spending on culture<\/b>“, and we have also been informed of the halting of the works of Stage 2 of the GAM, which was to house one of the largest and most modern halls of shows and concerts in Latin America.<\/p>\n

As music researchers, we wish to express our deep concern regarding this message, in which the arts appear as secondary or superfluous activities.<\/b> When state funding for culture is perceived as wasteful by the authorities, the State cannot implement cultural policies that recognize its value in the integral development of society. <\/span>We reject this message not only because music, far from being at odds with job creation, is a significant source of employment<\/b> \u2014although also fragile and precarious\u2014 for many people and institutions in our country. <\/span>We also do this because music offers spaces for meeting and sociability; it enables channels of expression, reactivation of social memory, emotional connection and enjoyment that are fundamental for social well-being and for full citizenship<\/b>; and because it constitutes an invaluable national heritage and an expression of identity that should be at the center of any development model.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenges facing the country demand authorities capable of understanding the place that music and culture occupy in collective life.<\/b> Reducing them to a minor issue not only reveals a mistaken diagnosis: it reveals a worrying distance from that which gives symbolic and material support to a democratic society.<\/span><\/p>\n
