Their Name Comes from the Aymaran Indian Language of the Andes, Where They'd Grown Into a Political Beast, Being Quite Outspoken Lyrically?enough to Be Forced Into Exile. They Soon Based Themselves in Rome and Earned a Powerful Reputation around the Globe, Becoming Very Unofficial Ambassadors of Chilean Music, as Well as Opponents to the Ruling Regime. In Addition to Performing with a Number of Famous Political Figures Like Pete Seeger and Mikis Theodorakis, They were Included on the Famous 1988 Amnesty International Tour, Along with Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Bruce Springsteen.
