The Chilean group Wechekeché Ñi Trawün - which means "young people together" in the Mapuche mapundungun language - is trying to keep the ancient traditions of their indigenous forefathers alive through hip-hop, reggaeton and pop music.
This is the first video in a series by BBC Mundo's Vlaidmir Hernandez about new native melodies coming out of Latin America ahead of the International Day of Indigenous Peoples which is celebrated by the United Nations every August 9.
