The musical creation is one of the trustees of this effort. In the present work is to study the role as an element of legitimacy and propaganda had music in the political articulation of the Franco dictatorship and the transition to parliamentary monarchy of Juan Carlos I. Identity is basically an intellectual construct, a theoretical elaboration, and death or exile of many thinkers, creators and artists led to the generations born during the dictatorship and had been educated in the oblivion of various reference elements. The Franco used mainly the work of nationalist composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Died dictator of Spain during the transition is proposed to extend sign of identity, with varying degrees of success, to promote the idea of change, renewal policy. In addition to the revaluation of the composers in exile after the outbreak of civil war, appeared on the cultural scene a leading avant-garde group of artists who bring new works in most of the time have had a political and institutional use but difficult for the public consumption. Therefore, in parallel consumer music began to gain greater prominence as a propaganda tool or legitimation. It was a logical consequence of the pursuit of maximum efficiency of the cultural on the society it is intended.
