In September 1988 Illapu returned from exile to settle permanently in Chile , after recording his last album abroad before returning to his country. With the fall of the dictatorship the group began to make preparations for a new studio album that would be contextualized in the return to Chile, the collapse of the military regime and the new challenges and problems of the early nineties. The formation of the group had varied since the last disc. Gone are Miguel Angel Aldana and the intermittent José Miguel Márquez, Juan Flores joining the band. The disc began to be recorded in the year 1990 to be released the following year, being a great success.
The album starts with the great theme Vuelvo para vivir , previously detailed, which, apart from its precise and moving lyrics, has a great musical arrangement that includes even violins. Then begins First Dream of Love , a huaylas composed by Roberto Márquez dedicated to the Chilean Northeast Pampa and Antofagasta , places where the Márquez brothers and other members of the group were raised. This song is followed by Baila caporal , a theme of rhythm typical of the northern carnivals such as the Fiesta de La Tirana , played with energetic zampoñas and quenas . They would like to forget it is the subject that follows, with a letter of an impressive certainty, making an analysis of the new times after the fall of the dictatorship, detailing how the new governments do not intend to change the model completely, but through the I forget they want to let go of the previous events and the desire for change and how difficult it will be to do justice for the fallen. Follow this theme Mande Mandela , dedicated to the struggle of South Africans and their leader Nelson Mandela , using for this rhythms with remarkable African influence in the song. It is followed by life , a song with a moving rhythm, with Central American influence, where the bass and the combination of zampoñas and quenas stand out. In the lyrical is a message of hope and joy. Then begins Sol de Maiz , an instrumental theme less strident than the previous ones, played with softness with zampoñas and quenachos mostly and that reflects with its melody a landscape of northern Chile . When finishing this subject it begins Three verses for a history , a song divided in three parts: The history of Manuel , Until always love and I am part of this history ; it reflects the drama of a family with an absent person (in this case a father) disappeared by the dictatorship. This song is also a kind of hymn for all those who suffer from the disappearance of a relative, so it is also one of the most emotional songs of the group. Balajú is still on the record, a native of Central American folklore is masterfully performed with quenas. The album ends with the song Escribo for example , a poem dedicated to the people, with a message of hope and struggle for what is coming, ending with the phrase Vamos hay quedar (Let's go there)

The year 2005 was a year of varied activities among which the release of the DVD "ILLAPU 33" stands out, which summarizes the group's 33-year career, which has become an institution, a fundamental reference of contemporary Chilean music reflecting and projecting popular sentiment above any commercial or convenience interest. One facet that composes this work is the "Concert", filmed during the tour that took the group from end to end of the American continent, through Chile, Peru, Mexico and Canada, with their instruments of Andean origin, but fused with the modernity of other rhythms and instruments to enter into the experience and reflection of a cultural universe that no longer has borders
Thus the "Concert" becomes an itinerant visual narrative, illustrated with landscapes and characters harvested along the tour and complemented with images from other eras, filmed by the members of the group, where the montage is enriched with unpublished sound documents as for example the decree of the dictatorship that expelled Illapu from Chile, as it was heard on the radio.
The second facet is called "Viaje a las Raíces", a documentary shot in 1975 when, after touring the almost impassable roads of that time, the group stayed several days in a remote valley of the Andes mountain range at more than four thousand meters height to know the Aymara community of Isluga. That initiatory journey is a milestone in the life of Illapu and influenced his identity in its beginnings.
Another facet is "El Candombe", a song that became a symbol and flag of hope and struggle when the dictatorship intensified. Finally, "Three verses for a story", an emotional moment that was filmed in Mexico City, in the intimacy and warmth of a glass of wine, at the same time that, in Santiago de Chile, a crowd dismissed Gladys Marín.

In 1985 , Illapu moved from France to Mexico , with what remains a temporary disorder in the stability of the members of the band, leaving only Roberto Márquez, Eric Maluenda and Raúl Acevedo. They know Carlos Elgueta, who would play on the electric bass . After a tour of Europe , the group is reunited with many of its former members, returning to integrate Andrés Márquez and integrating Miguel Ángel Aldama to the final formation. In 1987 they recorded this album, which would be based on current events in Chile, in the last years of the military dictatorship.
The songs on this album vary between instrumental and sung songs. They emphasize songs like: What is going to be about you , a landau written by Osvaldo Torres and composed by Roberto Márquez, which deals with what would happen to Augusto Pinochet once he was out of power; Arauco de Pie , instrumental played with Mapuche instruments, taken from the cantata "El grito de la raza" that Illapu would have played almost ten years ago; To continue living , song dedicated to Rodrigo Rojas De Negri , young man killed by the existing repression under the Chilean military regime; Paloma flies again , a candombe written and composed by José Miguel Márquez with a lyric hopeful to face the Chilean news; Fourth Kingdom, Fourth Reich , a Potosi tune that deals with the dictatorship; They are staying alone , written trot and composed by Osvaldo Torres, dedicated to Pinochet and his adherents.

In September 1988 Illapu returned from exile to settle permanently in Chile , after recording his last album abroad before returning to his country. With the fall of the dictatorship the group began to make preparations for a new studio album that would be contextualized in the return to Chile, the collapse of the military regime and the new challenges and problems of the early nineties. The formation of the group had varied since the last disc. Gone are Miguel Angel Aldana and the intermittent José Miguel Márquez, Juan Flores joining the band. The disc began to be recorded in the year 1990 to be released the following year, being a great success.
The album starts with the great theme Vuelvo para vivir , previously detailed, which, apart from its precise and moving lyrics, has a great musical arrangement that includes even violins. Then begins First Dream of Love , a huaylas composed by Roberto Márquez dedicated to the Chilean Northeast Pampa and Antofagasta , places where the Márquez brothers and other members of the group were raised. This song is followed by Baila caporal , a theme of rhythm typical of the northern carnivals such as the Fiesta de La Tirana , played with energetic zampoñas and quenas . They would like to forget it is the subject that follows, with a letter of an impressive certainty, making an analysis of the new times after the fall of the dictatorship, detailing how the new governments do not intend to change the model completely, but through the I forget they want to let go of the previous events and the desire for change and how difficult it will be to do justice for the fallen. Follow this theme Mande Mandela , dedicated to the struggle of South Africans and their leader Nelson Mandela , using for this rhythms with remarkable African influence in the song. It is followed by life , a song with a moving rhythm, with Central American influence, where the bass and the combination of zampoñas and quenas stand out. In the lyrical is a message of hope and joy. Then begins Sol de Maiz , an instrumental theme less strident than the previous ones, played with softness with zampoñas and quenachos mostly and that reflects with its melody a landscape of northern Chile . When finishing this subject it begins Three verses for a history , a song divided in three parts: The history of Manuel , Until always love and I am part of this history ; it reflects the drama of a family with an absent person (in this case a father) disappeared by the dictatorship. This song is also a kind of hymn for all those who suffer from the disappearance of a relative, so it is also one of the most emotional songs of the group. Balajú is still on the record, a native of Central American folklore is masterfully performed with quenas. The album ends with the song Escribo for example , a poem dedicated to the people, with a message of hope and struggle for what is coming, ending with the phrase Vamos hay quedar (Let's go there)

The year 2005 was a year of varied activities among which the release of the DVD "ILLAPU 33" stands out, which summarizes the group's 33-year career, which has become an institution, a fundamental reference of contemporary Chilean music reflecting and projecting popular sentiment above any commercial or convenience interest. One facet that composes this work is the "Concert", filmed during the tour that took the group from end to end of the American continent, through Chile, Peru, Mexico and Canada, with their instruments of Andean origin, but fused with the modernity of other rhythms and instruments to enter into the experience and reflection of a cultural universe that no longer has borders
Thus the "Concert" becomes an itinerant visual narrative, illustrated with landscapes and characters harvested along the tour and complemented with images from other eras, filmed by the members of the group, where the montage is enriched with unpublished sound documents as for example the decree of the dictatorship that expelled Illapu from Chile, as it was heard on the radio.
The second facet is called "Viaje a las Raíces", a documentary shot in 1975 when, after touring the almost impassable roads of that time, the group stayed several days in a remote valley of the Andes mountain range at more than four thousand meters height to know the Aymara community of Isluga. That initiatory journey is a milestone in the life of Illapu and influenced his identity in its beginnings.
Another facet is "El Candombe", a song that became a symbol and flag of hope and struggle when the dictatorship intensified. Finally, "Three verses for a story", an emotional moment that was filmed in Mexico City, in the intimacy and warmth of a glass of wine, at the same time that, in Santiago de Chile, a crowd dismissed Gladys Marín.
