The popular Latin American musical lyrics that we know today are the result of an intersection of multiple musical currents and social, cultural, political and historical processes. It is important to point out the role of the participants that promoted and transformed them: composers, singer-songwriters and performers, whose musical complexity gradually led them to become representative of their cultures. In turn, this complexity corresponds to the contextual conditions in which the said participants were formed, and are thus reflected in their compositions, which have generated meaning among the listeners of several generations, through ideas that have been shared and disseminated transsubjectively, thereby integrating a variety of national identities. Transsubjectivity can be verified through contemporary rituals: commemorative dates and international festivals, whereby subjects are integrated as a group, in stages of liminality, around dominant characters such as the complex singer-songwriters themselves, along with their continuity through the popular musical lyrics they represent.
