From Pollo Fuentes to Los Prisioneros: Listen to the new lists we have for you

Every week we will release lists with historical and heritage material on Spotify.

Two new decades, the ‘70 and ‘80, have been compiled on this weekly release continuing with the gathering of milestones, rarities, and singles of the Chilean music.

Frecuencia Mod, Myriam Hernández, Eduardo Gatti, Zalo Reyes, Panzer, Pachuco and La Cubanacán, Valija Diplomática, Victor Jara, Congreso, Nino García, Dorso, Mauricio Redolés and Mazapán, are some of the artists that can be heard in the selection that we post every Friday on Spotify.

Chilemúsica was created thanks to the work of the Independent Music Industry Association of Chile (IMICHILE); ProChile, the Undersecretariat of Cultures and Arts, the Production Promotion Corporation (Chilecreativo) and the Chilean Society of Musical Authors and Interpreters (SCD) to focus the work done with the export of national music.

Listen, follow, share and have fun enjoying Chilean music in this quarantine.

Chilemúsica conducts a survey for chilean music workers abroad

In order to support the international diffusion and export of the Chilean music industry, a tool was generated to identify the artists, agents, producers, and technicians who are practicing outside the country.

It is a fact that the Chilean music industry does not only develop from our country.

There are many agents who reside and practice abroad and from there contribute to the internationalization of our scene. For this reason, from Chilemúsica arises the initiative to open and connect the borders of the Chilean music industry for national workers abroad.

In this context, a survey for the entire chain of the music industry it’s being carried out, considering Chilean artists, agents, producers, bookers, and technicians; among others, residing in other countries.

Having this information will be vital to gather data and guidelines about the work of industry agents who live outside the country.

“We know that the music industry is one of the most affected in the world as a result of the current pandemic. As Chilemúsica, we want to know the situation of the Chilean who work in the sector and live outside our country to help them in the promotion of their work. We do not know how long the suspension of traveling and transfers between countries will continue,” says Oliver Knust, director of Chilemúsica.

We call for you to respond to this survey to have a broader view when directing our efforts as a sector brand.

Chilemúsica accompanies your quarantine days with chilean music lists

Every week we will release lists with historical and heritage material on Spotify.

As a way to make Chilean music visible, at a time when the world is turning to a digital life as a result of COVID-19, as a team at Chilemúsica, a sector brand that promotes the Chilean music industry abroad, we made a selection that will discover the most important musical milestones in our country by decade, starting in the 1940s.

The investigation was based, mainly, on the material offered and ordered chronologically by Musicapopular.cl, press of the time and testimonial files. In addition, we will have lists by genres, labels and themes, with the support and collaboration of experts and authorized voices of Chilean popular music in its curatorship.

“In these moments of crisis, we want to contribute to promoting Chilean music through digital streaming. We believe that we should start by showing the foundations of the Chilean music industry, in chronological order and by decade. Then connect cultural and commercial relationships with target markets; Mexico, Peru and Spain. Finally we will begin to make visible by genre and fundamental artists in specific playlists. We must take advantage of the time for the reality to which the Coronavirus has forced us, in need new opportunities and bridges are born to face what is to come”, said Oliver Knust, director of Chilemúsica.

The lists will feature great exponents of the country’s musical history, various genres such as jazz, folklore, learned, pop and indie, among many more.

Rodrigo Ulloa, part of the editorial committee of Chilemúsica, comments that it has been a gratifying work where “we have tried to select old and current material and, although we still have to digitize music from other times and styles, we have found some findings such as Nahuel Jazz Quartet, one of the forerunners of the genre, plenty of material by Claudio Arrau and pieces rescued in digital format by Chito Faró and Ester Sore that music lovers will surely appreciate.”

Today we will share the first three lists with music from the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s through our Chilemúsica profile on Spotify, an action that will be repeated weekly with more new lists.
