Quilapayún ( Mapudungun : Three Beards) is a band from Chile founded in 1965 . The group has been one of the main representatives of the Nueva canción Chilena since its inception .
history
In the summer of 1965, Julio Numhauser and the Carrasco brothers started a folk tertzett. A little later, Patricio Castillo met the group and made the first line-up perfect. The four musicians initially performed at Chilean universities , but thanks to a collaboration with Ángel Parra (son of Violeta Parra ) got their first gigs in clubs in Santiago and Valparaíso . Quilapayún took on their striking appearance, with black ponchos and beards, during their collaboration with Víctor Jara , with whom they worked as artistic director in the late 1960s .
Shortly after their founding, they worked out their musical line, which is characterized by a fusion of Andean folklore with political texts . This mixture was particularly expressed on their third album from 1968 , "Por Vietnam", in which they take a clear stand against the war course of the USA , but also against the oppression of Latin America.
With Salvador Allende's election victory in 1970, the Nueva canción Chilena flourished and gained international attention. Quilapayún was also able to celebrate international success, extended its tours to Europe and became particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay . Internationally, Quilapayún, with Inti-Illimani and Víctor Jara, was considered an ambassador of the new Chile because of his commitment to the Unidad Popular . Above all, the song El pueblo unido stands next to Venceremos by Inti-Illimani as a symbol of the optimistic mood in Chile of the Unidad Popular. Her performance achieved particular fame when she sang the song in front of a huge crowd a few days before the coup on September 11th at a mass demonstration for the Allende government, here it became what it should be since the coup - a symbol of the desperate resistance to the dictatorship.
When the military took off on September 11th, the group was on a European tour in France and had to remain in exile until 1988.
After the end of the dictatorship in Chile, the group split into two factions: one that returned permanently to Chile and one that stayed in France. Similar to Inti-Illimani, there are now two groups who claim to be the "true" Quilapayun members.
