Weichafe is a distinguished Chilean rock band whose roots can be traced back to 1995 when they were formed in Santiago. The group’s name is a term from the Mapuche language, meaning "warrior," and their music style uniquely blends rock with elements of blues and Chilean folk, often incorporating politically and socially charged lyrics that resonate with themes of struggle and identity. Weichafe quickly gained a reputation for their powerful live performances and their commitment to exploring and integrating their country's indigenous Mapuche heritage into their music.

Over the years, Weichafe has produced a significant body of work that has cemented their status as a pillar in the Chilean rock scene. Known for releases such as "Tierra Oscura Del Sol," which marked its 20-year anniversary with a special edition, and other impactful tracks like "Me Verás Arder" and "Mundo Hostil," the band has remained socially relevant and musically robust. Despite a brief hiatus, Weichafe continues to engage audiences with their raw sound and fervent message, as exemplified in more recent releases including "Vuelo hacia el final" and "Ponle agua a las flores." Their congruent discography is a testament to their ongoing evolution as artists while staying true to their activist roots and rock 'n' roll core.
