Amerindian Music of Chile: Aymara, Qaqashqar, Mapuche
En Chile existen tres grupos indígenas que son descendientes directos de los habitantes prehispánicos de América: los aymara, los qawashqar (también llamados alakaluf) y los mapuches (también llamados araucanos). Los aymara habitan las cumbre andinas y el altiplano localizados en Tarapaca y Antofagasta, las dos provincias chilenas que están ubicadas más al norte; los qawashqar son unos de los más antiguos habitantes de la región más austral del planeta, la Tierra de Fuego; los mapuche viven principalmente en la región llamada " la frontera" o la "Araucania" en el centro de Chile, localizada en las provincias de Malleco y Cantín.
