Música cebolla (Spanish for "onion music") is a genre of Chilean music emphasising sentimentality and intimacy.[1] Indeed, at times the feelings expressed in música cebolla are "exacerbated".[1] Música cebolla had its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s,[1] and was thus contemporary to Nueva ola,[2] the early Nueva Canción and the introduction of Cumbia to Chile.[3]

For a long time música cebolla was derided, ridiculed or ignored by mass media.[3]

Among older generations Palmenia Pizarro is an icon of música cebolla albeit she rejects the label. Palmenia has influenced contemporary música cebolla artist like Mon Laferte[4][5][6] and Los Vásquez.[7]
