Original Musics: Beatriz Pichi Malen at the National Library

An hour-long appearance in the National Library of Argentina's Musicas Originarias series, where she sings and speaks about the Mapuche songs she carries.

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.
