Sumario: Since the post-dictatorial period in Chile, the arrival of Latin American communities has generated a steady transformation in the migration pattern. In this study we aim to understand the effect of the cultural creations of immigrants on our identities, sociabilities and imaginaries. In particular, we are interested in the musical practices, putting forward the idea that music involves processes of cultural mixing, creating a transformation and a reshaping of identities. Methodologically, the study is based on an etnographic focus and on comprehensive interviews with artists of various types of music. The results reveal the existence of distinct kinds of identities, which wane and combine involving elements of natonality, ethnicity, religion and profesional. We conclude from this that the new migratory movements have marked in an important way the present cultural dynamics, creating social links and mixing between communities well beyond national and symbolic bounderies.
