Shortly thereafter Graham Lambkin's KYE Records released their first LP, Cofradía Náutica, a collection of live and studio recordings. After more than a year of rehearsing, creating and composing, a cassette came out on Traición 73 Records followed by the group’s first live shows. They rehearsed constantly in a basement in Santiago. Glorias Navales started as an acoustic trio with two guitars, a handmade bailes chino drum and a rabel fiddle. The ‘museum’ does not have a single space of action, rather, it should be understood as the possibility of linking different peasant territories to create a wider cultural map or ways of living, making visible these territories’ great variety and quality of techniques, knowledge, products and customs. The missi on of MUCAM (Museo Campesino en Movimiento) is to preserve traditions and encourage social development in the rich and diverse rural world of Chile, through interdisciplinary work spanning anthropology, architecture, communication, visual arts, oenology, engineering and history.

The inheritances of both contemporary and ancient life inform the power and knowledge of the canto. They are also centred around life itself: productive work, family ties, places, symbols and words, traditions and modernities. There are countless entonaciones (melodies) that define these territories, communities and subjects in unique ways and reflect the complexity of their devotion.Ĭommunity gatherings take place around images, saints, crosses and angelitos (very young children who have died), each with their own local idiosyncracies. It has persisted for centuries in the voices of hundreds of men and women who have passed it from one generation to the next in various popular ceremonies. The canto is structured in décimas and nourished by Biblical stories and other sacralised texts. It is mostly rooted in the Central Valley, a space at the skirt of the mountains, valleys and dry land between the Choapa Province in the north and the Linares Province in the south, following the slopes of the major rivers crossing the different territories and towns of this great region: Choapa, Aconcagua, Maipo, Cachapoal, Tinguiririca, Mat aquito and Maule. Eroteme team up with Chilean archival collective, MUCAM & Mississippi records to present a night of film, music and talks exploring the Chilean folkloric tradition - Canto a lo divino.Ĭanto a lo divino – collective musical memory from ChileĬanto a lo divino is a unique musical expression of the Chilean peasant world.
