 co Libre is a eight-piece traditional Latin American band\, formed in H
 obart in 1987. Born from a powerful blend of cultural pride and resilien
 ce\, the group was founded by political refugees who fled the Pinochet r
 egime in Chile\, finding a new home in Tasmania.\n\n\n\nArauco Libre cel
 ebrates the rich musical traditions of the Andean region of South Americ
 a (Northern Chile\, Northern Argentina\, Peru\, Bolivia\, and Ecuador). 
 The band plays folk\, traditional\, dance\, and carnival tunes\, using a
 uthentic instruments like the siku (pan pipes)\, quena (bamboo flute
 )\, bombo (drum)\, charango (a 10-string mandolin/guitar)\, and cha
 kj’chas (shakers)\, which add a lively and distinctive sound to their
  performances.\n\n\n\nFor three decades\, Arauco Libre was a staple at H
 obart’s iconic Salamanca Market\, performing every Saturday from 1987 
 to 2017. They’ve also taken the stage at major events like Launceston 
 Festivale\, Agfest\, Cygnet Folk Festival\, Panama Festival\, Deloraine 
 Craft Fair\, and the National Folk Festival in Canberra.\n\n\n\nWith six
  recordings under their belt\, Arauco Libre is a living portrait of cult
 ural resilience and the journey to a new homeland. They’re not just ke
 eping the music alive—they’re making it dance\, breathe\, and flouri
 sh in Tasmania.–––––\n\n\n\nAs Salamanca Arts Centre will be o
