Summary

Between 1876 and 1914 Bilbao and its province become a melting pot of political agitation about certain ideologies, which use music as an element of cohesion and propaganda. The comparison and analysis of three representative hymns ?the Himno de los Auxiliares as a symbol of liberal Bilbao; the Gernikako arbola as a symbol of support for the statutes (Fueros) and Basque nationalism; and the Marsellesa de la paz as a socialist hymn? allows us to see how music becomes a vehicle of identity that creates or increases the feeling of belonging to a group.
