In Search of Mapuche Wisdom

A Spanish-language interview for Revista Sophia on Mapuche wisdom and what singing in Mapudungun asks of her.

Teacher

Meet Beatriz Pichi Malen.

Mapuche Song in Mapudungun

Beatriz Pichi Malen

Argentine singer of Mapuche descent, born on 22 April 1953 in Los Toldos in the province of Buenos Aires, and descended on her mother's side from the cacique Ignacio Coliqueo. She sings in Mapudungun, and her work is the searching out, the recovery and the passing on of Mapuche culture. Her career began around 1990, when the Rockefeller Foundation invited her to the fourth International Women's Congress in Manhattan.
