Hello,
Today's artists are an instrumental and vocal Latin American folk music ensemble from Chile. The group was formed in 1967 by a group of university students and it acquired widespread popularity in Chile for their song Venceremos (We shall win!) which became the anthem of the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende. During their exile in Europe their music took on a multifarious character, incorporating elements of European baroque and other traditional music forms to their rich and colourful Latin American rhythms - creating a distinctive fusion of modern world music. They are perhaps the best internationally known members of the nueva canción movement. .....N'Joy

For well over 30 years, Inti-Illimani (the name translates as "Sun God") has held a beacon for Chilean music, both the traditional folk styles and the more contemporary nueva cancion. Back in 1967 a group of students at Santiago's Technical University formed a band to perform folk music. Taking their name from the Aymaran Indian language of the Andes, they began playing traditional music -- something few did back then -- and quickly earned a reputation around the capital, becoming more and more adept on their instruments. By the '70s they'd grown into a political beast, taking on the nueva cancion (literally "new song") of many young groups, and being quite outspoken lyrically -- enough to be forced into exile in 1973, where they'd stay for 15 years. However, they refused to be cowed by the Chilean dictatorship. Basing themselves in Rome, Italy, they continued to record, and toured more heavily then ever before, earning a powerful reputation around the globe, and becoming very unofficial ambassadors of Chilean music, as well as opponents to the ruling regime. In addition to performing with a number of famous, political figures like Pete Seeger and Mikis Theodorakis, they were included on the famous 1988 Amnesty International Tour, along with Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Bruce Springsteen. It was, perhaps, their highest profile moment, at least in worldwide terms, and set the stage for their return to their homeland, where they've continued to be outspoken.
While they've remained a force in world music, their career in the U.S. was hampered by the lack of any consistent record deal until 1994, when they signed with Green Linnet offshoot Xenophile. Prior to that, only a few of their 30-plus discs made it into domestic U.S. record bins. The eight-piece lineup remained stable until 1996, when Max Berru decided to retire from music after almost three decades, shortly after the group had been celebrated with a Best Of disc in Italy (not to be confused with the 2000 Best Of on Xenophile, which collected tracks from their last four releases only). Instead of replacing him, they've continued since as a septet. 1997 saw the band honored with a U.C. Berkeley Human Rights Award for their labors in the past. Since then, although they've continued to release albums and tour, they've cut back on their earlier hectic schedule, but also widened their musical horizons, as 1999's Amar de Nuevo looked at the complete spectrum of Latin roots music and its Creole heritage.
In the past the group was musically led by Horacio Salinas and politically led by Jorge Coulon. However, in 2001 there was a controversial split of the group, which started when three key members left the group (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas). They were replaced by Manuel Meriño (from Entrama), Cristián González and Juan Flores. Due to the importance of departed members, many called into question the ability of the remainder to carry on the Inti-Illimani name. Meanwhile, the three departed members started their own group they call Inti-Histórico. From 2005 there are two groups:
Inti-Illimani New (Coulon brothers)
Inti-Illimani Histórico (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas)

Recorded in June 1976 this record consists partly (four tracks) of songs re-recorded for the occasion but published by the group in his records recorded in Chile before exile. Inside the cover there is a writing attributed to the group that illustrates the meaning of this project and which reads:
This record is the continuation of a work begun in 1967 with the creation of the complex index includes only a minimal part of what is the musical richness of the countries of the central region of the Andes, "Our intention being a popular musician has pushed us to hire us with love, but above all with great respect, the task of recreating and interpreting the music of the Andean peoples. We have tried to work and interpret this music through the rhythms and instruments that we knew and mastered technically. This record is not a "folkloric" interpretation of Andean music. It is a recreation, from the point of view of our complex, of "folk" themes, popular and contemporary authors." This is the fifth studio album recorded and published by the band in Italy, after their exile in that country product of the 1973 coup d'état in Chile.

Released in 1979, six years after their exile and residence in Italy, this disc is most famous for the title cut (the sixth track) and the closing anthem, "Samba Lando," although each track on the record is great in its own way. Inti-Illimani have changed remarkably little over the years, even through a myriad of (sometimes acrimonious) personnel changes, and persons who have only heard their 21st century output will be surprised at how much this sounds like it. The Andean folk basis of the music is slightly more in evidence, and the arrangements are more stripped down, but for the most part this is still a bouillabaisse of Latin styles sung earnestly and almost academically. The lyrics are politically engaged without being explicitly political. The two instrumentals gracefully merge impressionist harmony, classical elegance, and Chilean mountain tradition. Persons at all familiar with Latin culture will find it impossible to be bored by this album. Like all of Inti-Illimani's best work, this is intellectually engaging, mysterious, and moving.

En Directo (Live) is the first official live album of the Chilean band Inti-Illimani, originally released as an LP in 1980. This album was recorded December, 1979 during a tour in Italy and released in the same country, where the members of the band lived for years, after their exile from Chile product of the 1973 coup. The album talks about realizing that this exile in Europe could be more than just being a passenger. The cover of the album contains the following dedication:
"This is an album dedicated to these years that have seen us live like water lilies, floating between nostalgia and the certainty of our transience ... which becomes permanent."

An epic portrayal of the Andean landscape, The Flight of the Condor: Ice, Wind and Fire celebrates the sheer majesty of this massive area. Shown as part of the BBC’s The World About Us strand, the production travels from snow-capped peaks to storm-beaten rocks, providing a glimpse of the intriguing wildlife this diverse land supports. Highly memorable due to its distinctive soundtrack, the beauty and isolation of the surroundings is brought to life by the haunting Latin American Folk music of the award-winning Chilean band Inti-Illimani.
A thorough and impressive account of this immense ecosystem, writer and producer Michael Andrews spent eighteen months in the Andes with award-winning cameramen Martin Saunders, Hugh Miles and Rodger Jackman, filming this three part series. Staggering cinematography details the abundance of life the range supports, from close-ups of leeches on the forest floor to oppossums and guanacos foraging in the undergrowth.
In addition to its shots and photography, this documentary is notable for its soundtrack, created and performed mostly by the famous Chilean group Inti-Illimani. The BBC television series depicts a condor's eye view of the stunning beauty and the contrast of the Andes mountains of South America. Two Chilean bands, Inti-Illimani and 2 tracks by Guaramy, perform on instruments indigenous to South America, to supply the background music to the series. The instruments include pan pipes, cane flutes, guitar and a mandolin-type instrument. The album contains songs of Inti-Illimani already existing in previous works, as well as new versions and completely new songs.
