history
Los Jaivas concert 2009 in Pichilemu
The band was formed in 1963. The Parra brothers met Mario Mutis and Gato Alquinta when they were children and started playing music together. They became known in their city through appearances at parties. The former name of the group was High-bass , which was later changed to "Jaivas". “Jaivas” sounds like “Jaiba”, a Chilean dialect word for crab .
The group lived in Argentina from 1973 to 1977 after the Chilean coup , then went to France and stayed there until 1981.
