content: Amalia Cordova (Presenter); Cristofer Collio "Ketrafe" (guitar, vocals, NaciÛn Mapuche); Jaime Cuyanao Venegas "Waikil" (Mapuche) Jaime Cuyanao Venegas is a Mapuche artist who, under the name of Waikil,  makes rap music in Spanish and Mapuzungun (Mapuche language). Although he was  born in the city of Santiago, he spent part of his childhood in TraiguÈn (in  southern Chile) with his maternal grandmother, with whom he maintained a close  bond. Living in Santiago, he strengthened his Mapuche identity and, through  music, shared the everyday experiences of his people in both rural and urban spaces. He is accompanied by one of his bandmates, Cristofer  Collio (guitar and  pifilka ), who goes by Ketrafe.
