Musical Mutualism in Valparaiso during the Rise of the Labor Movement (1893–1931)

Abstract

The Musicians’ Mutual Aid Society of Valparaiso was active from 1893 to well into the twentieth century in what was then Chile’s main port city. In this article, I will examine the characteristics of this social organization of Chilean musicians during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and its relationship to the rising labor movement. Moreover, I will report some relevant findings based on a range of archival material. To conclude, I will discuss the role of the Mutual Aid Society of Valparaiso as a forerunner to the creation of the country’s first Musicians’ Union in 1931.
