Resumen de The Birth and Intangible Heritage Archive: Guitarrón Music and Chino Dances in Central Chile
An ethnomusicological investigation covering more than 20 years in Central Chile, focused on two ritual traditions –bailes chinos and canto a lo poeta (chino dances and poet singing)- resulted, among other things, in more than 1000 hours of audiovisual recordings. The material has been the subject of academic articles, books and documentary films, and has now been used to initiate the Intangible Heritage Archive of the Museo chileno de arte Precolombino. This archive is housed in a digital platform that allows users to quickly access and view any part of the collection, scene by scene and track by track. The archive is intended as an endowment for researchers, students and cultural producers.
