The islands of Chiloe, in southern Chile, have developed a distinct
culture over several centuries, blending indigenous traditions and
Spanish settler heritage to create a vibrant pattern of folklore,
music, dance, and related creative practices. This cultural
heritage has become an important aspect of the islands' identity
and is key to their successful marketing as a tourist destination.
However, these elements exist in tension with new developments,
most particularly the introduction of salmon aquaculture, which has
disrupted traditional livelihood patterns and polluted the region's
marine environment. This volume analyzes the development of the
islands' distinct culture with a particular focus on music and
dance. Key topics include the relation of tradition and modernity,
the impact of tourism on cultural practice, and the relationship
between social activism and music culture. The authors complement
this focus with a discussion of their own creative engagements with
the region through the production of the music album Viaje a Chiloe
(2018) and through the work of the audiovisual ensemble The
Moviolas (in 2015-2018).
