Música mapuche is a resonant expression of the cultural heritage of the Mapuche people, who are indigenous to regions of Chile and Argentina. This genre weaves traditional Mapuche elements—like ancestral rhythms and indigenous instruments like the trutruka, a type of horn, and the kultrun, a ritual drum—with contemporary musical styles, reflecting stories of resistance, nature's cyclicality, and a profound reverence for the earth. Artists such as Combo Chabela, Tata Barahona, and Evelyn Cornejo bring a modern interpretation to these age-old sounds, often blending folk sensibilities with lyrical narratives that delve into socio-political issues and identity. The result is a vibrant tapestry of music that's both rooted in authenticity and evolving with new influences, serving as a powerful symbol of identity and resilience for the Mapuche community.
