These characters walk streets and cities of Chile and also points to places such as Europe. All these presentations are made formally with a contract and through the Department of Culture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile.
We want to publicize our culture and traditions because there are part of a generation who do not know us both in Chile and other countries. Ignoring the Chinchinero also originates in nuesttro country.
The Chinchinero was born in the Fifth Region of Chile. The instrument was invented by a woman and then spread to the central area and was in Santiago where did the idea of accompanying the organ grinder.
In the 1930's the organ grinder was accompanied by other characters as the photographer, suplementero, knife sharpener, farolero indicating the hour.
As time passed, each character was independizando. the photographer was in the seats, which gave the time faded for obvious reasons: they invented the clock. The knife sharpener followed only by neighborhoods and likewise it did the organ grinder.
Only until the 1960's appeared Chinchinero and start working as a group, representing our culture and traditions.
