Illapu , is a Chilean music group that was founded in 1971 in the northern city of Antofagasta . The founders of the group are the brothers José Miguel, Jaime, Andrés and Roberto Márquez Bugueño.

Illapu means "lightning" in the Quechua language .

In 1972 they moved to Santiago de Chile to find more performance opportunities and to make studio recordings. They recorded their first album, Música Andina, for the DICAP label. Shortly thereafter they won a prize at the Norte Andino Festival ( Andean North Festival ) in Calama with the interpretation of Dale Mañungo, composed by the songwriter Nano Acevedo.

1973 joined Illapu for the first time at the prestigious Music Festival Internacional de la Canción de la Vina del Mar on. Her novel musical approach and her aesthetic on stage earned Illapu the recognition of music critics and audience approval. In this phase they began to be regarded as a new element in the Nueva Canción Chilena (“New Chilean Song”) movement. The financial means made available for art and culture under the government of the People's Unity of Salvador Allende enabled Illapu to develop her artistic potential.

After a concert stay abroad in 1981, they were refused entry by the Pinochet regime and so the musicians were forced into exile in 1981 - first they went to France and later to Mexico City . In 1988 they returned to Chile due to the improved political climate.

The group first performed at the 1982 Festival of Political Song in Berlin during their political exile .
