The Inti-Illimani are a vocal and instrumental group Chilean formed in 1967 in the movement of the Nueva Canción Chilena and still active.
The name is composed of two words: Inti ( Quechua word that means sun) and Illimani (name Aymara a top of the chain of the Andes ). Forced to ' exile as a result of the 1973 Chilean coup , returnees in 1988 where continuing musical activity through a renewal in the register and in the composition of the group.
History [edit ]
Group born in 1967 within the Technical University of Santiago de Chile , with a continuous succession of elements within the first year. After the tour in South America, arrived in 1973 the first in Europe during which the Inti Illimani become forced exile because of the coup of Augusto Pinochet . Exile in Italy , where members of the group was recognized the right of political asylum , lasted from 1973 to 1988 . The group originally lived in exile in Genzano di Roma before settling in Rome , where support campaigns for restoration of democracy in the country of origin. In 1973
- Horacio Duran Vidal
- José Sepúlveda Seves
- José Miguel Vargas Camus
- Horacio Salinas Alvarez
- Jorge Coulon Larrañaga Max Carrion Berru
and will remain so for as long exile, the only changes will be the exit of Jose Miguel Camus, replaced in 1978 by Marcelo Coulon, brother of the founder, Jorge, and by 'insertion of Renato Freyggang from 1984. We should acknowledge the contribution of the talented musician Venezuelan Jorge Ball, which will be part of the group for about 2 years from 1982 to 1984 and later, in stages alternate in other time periods.
The group was originally headed, musically, by Horacio Salinas and politically, by Jorge Coulon. Between 1998 and 2003, in time and circumstances, then, emerge from the group of three components (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas). Are replaced by Manuel Merino (Both of the ), Cristián González Juan Flores and by Illapu .
Given the importance of the members escaped, the question arises of who has the right to retain the name Inti-Illimani. Meanwhile, the three components that escaped form his own group called Inti-Histórico . Since 2005
- Inti-Illimani (Coulon brothers).
- Inti-Histórico (José Seves, Horacio Durán and Horacio Salinas)
Music [edit ]
Over the years, the six young people together catalyze life experiences, musical, political and cultural, to produce a wide repertoire. They are characterized by instrumentation and musical style have technical skills and remarkable voice, although they have often said to possess a self-taught training . The tremolo performed easily in Mis LLamitas is a technique that is underestimated even by the great masters of classical guitar .
In their musical work, the songs range from the characterization of the typical Andean music the song revolutionary, with a wide range of intermediate colors, unusual and original.
I can not, however, to restrict their production to a artistic movement (as is the case, for example, in rock or in the music of singer-songwriters): music and style are unique and unrepeatable, giving the group a reputation and longevity of much higher than in the rest of the movement. The musical activity starts from ' arrangement of popular themes and folk, to occur in small and independent works that are, in some cases, even well-prepared. We can say that theirs is a continuous search for new developments, with a repertoire full of rhythmic and harmonic combinations style that puts each song in the middle of itself, the variety is so wide so as not to point out that the introduction-verse-chorus structure is almost ubiquitous, with very few exceptions, but very few exceptions occur in well-orchestrated symphonic structures (not purposefully The term has been used arranged ).
The footage then stabilizes at around a model type, there is no search of the combination that works best or on the contrary shows many possible combinations, often ingenious, developed by the confluence of simple ingredients but wisely assayed. Even in the most naive or discounted processing the maximum value leads to small masterpieces. Everything is about the musical itself is the arguments and instrumentation. In fact, in the early years, the tools of the park is almost static and next to the 'fixed pattern' are the roles of vocal and instrumental. Despite this static (however relative) can not be repeated even in the instrumental and vocal sounds by exploiting the technical possibilities of instruments and voice.
Their mastery of technology executive and arranger, who inspired a number of artists such as Grup Yorum , is also expressed in the fact that the harmonic sophistication is not always necessary, same goes for the vocal virtuosity. If America Novia Mia rhythmic and harmonic structure has a fairly simple and the vocals do not show too much development, you can not consider a song certainly easy to perform, even in light of the fact that it is a piece of footage belongs a juvenile phase is not the group can be considered anything more than a simple set to music of a poem. Especially since the tail end, anything but simple or canonical. There are also performances of choral orchestral ( Homeland Prisionero , Canto a los Caídos , The exiliada del Sur), staining and effective care ( La segunda independencia , Simón Bolívar , Carnevali de la quebrada de Hamahuaca ), deep traditions in search of tracks ( Señora Chichera , Flor de Sancayo ).
Many happy songs in music but in the poignant lyrics (Lament of the Indian , Taita Salasaca ); equally frequent instrumental tracks, dedicated to the location ( Alturas , Chiloe, Ramis).
complex musical structures are also produced ( Huajira , Canto a los Caídos , Chiloe), songs that evolve in a symphony with harmonic structures skilfully with rhythm (music) rhythm not are accompanied by simple base, but that they make up the orchestral part.
