Puelche - Patagonian Music

El grupo Puelche es un trío vocal-instrumental, que interpreta repertorio de autores o temática patagónicas.
Su música rescata el paisaje y el hombre patagónico; esta música está fuertemente ligada a elementos de las culturas mapuche y tehuelche que antecedieron al hombre blanco en la Patagonia.
Puelche es una voz mapuche que significa "gente del este" en alusión a la ubicación geográfica de una parte del pueblo mapuche que migró hacia la zona atlántica y la actual provincia de Buenos Aires.

Puelche is a vocal-instrumental trio that plays music from the southern cone of Argentina: the Patagonia.
The patagonian region survived the continental invasion for several centuries after other sections of the continent had been submitted to foreign rule. One of the results was that the forceful cultural fusion of aboriginal and european elements which took place during the last five centuries in (South)América, is only now starting to take shape in the patagonian region.
Poets and musicians, both indian (mapuche and tehuelche)and "criollo" (white), have sprung up with music and lyrics that evoke a unique cultural texture of both geography and people. This new, self-seeking identity has been therefore termed: patagonian culture; hence, patagonian music.

Puelche has taken on this cultural heritage arranging the songs with a delicate web of voices, guitars, bombo (deep drum), and kultrún (indian drum).
