Identidad y transculturización en el folclor musical chileno

Resumen

What we call Chilean music today is a music that feeds on a transculturization that is increasing and evolving daily. As a consequence of this, Chilean folklore has been invited to participate in avant-garde, contemporary and, above all, popular musical creations. To understand it, it is necessary to cover certain questions about Chilean identity, accepting that national identities have never been something static or permanent, but have been changing and transforming into history. Later, in order to elucidate the questions about Chilean musical identity, we must go to its beginnings and understand what hybridization it has experienced over time, allowing us to clarify the origin of our traditional music.
