ÜÑÜM

ÜÑÜM is a fiery Chilean musical project blending Mapuche traditions with punk energy, creating a powerful voice for indigenous resistance and social justice. Emerging in the late 2010s, their music fuses ancestral Mapudungun lyrics, traditional instruments like the kultrún (ritual drum), and distorted guitars to address themes of decolonization, environmental activism, and cultural preservation. Tracks like "Millaray" (referencing a Mapuche leader) and "Kalku Voladora" (nodding to spiritual concepts) showcase their commitment to amplifying Indigenous narratives, while releases like "Fotxü Anay Fotxü!" ("Wake Up Sister!") and "La Warria" ("The Warrior") pulse with rebellious urgency. Known for electrifying live shows that feel like communal rituals, ÜÑÜM has become a rallying cry for marginalized voices across Latin America.
