Los Jaivas concert at the Teatro Monumental, held on May 5, 2000. The closing of a great tour that the group carried out throughout Chile.

A unique and transcendent conceptual documentary that, through a complex Chilean musical work, rescues the sense of identity that is passed down from generation to generation, rescuing fundamental pillars of literary and musical creation.

This documentary by José Luis Valenzuela meticulously follows each step in the evolution of the creative process of this fundamental work in the history of Los Jaivas, Mamalluca.

Los Jaivas played for the first time on Rapa Nui on May 5, 2006, fulfilling a long-held dream. José Luis Valenzuela, using this concert as the central focus of his narrative, juxtaposes it with domestic scenes, work scenes, timeless images, and breathtaking landscapes that evoke the first morning of the world, allowing us to share the band's experience of trying to understand this ancient culture.

Nineteen years after recording "Las Alturas de Macchu Picchu", Los Jaivas returned to Cusco in March 2000 for an exclusive concert at the imposing ruins of Sacsayhuamán. Thirty thousand people gathered (braving the rain at times) to witness this magnificent spectacle, which also featured a thrilling and massive choreography. The reunion with their friends from the band "El Polen" fostered a sense of camaraderie that Los Jaivas have always cultivated in their songs. The work of filmmaker José Luis Valenzuela is particularly interesting, blending footage of the concert with images of the set, rehearsals, travel and stay in Cusco.

Los Jaivas take a symbolic train to celebrate their 60 years of musical life. A choral story where the protagonists narrate the intimacy in this journey of commemorations and obligatory stops throughout Chile connecting it with their music. The band together with other authorized voices reflect on the free and democratic circulation of Chilean cultural heritage, closing the year's tour with the realization of the mural in Cal y Canto station of the Stgo subway by René Olivares and the great final show at the Quinta Vergara in Viña Del Mar.

On August 15, 2023, at the iconic Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, an unprecedented musical milestone was commemorated. Los Jaivas, Chile's longest-running fusion rock band, celebrated six decades of musical history in an event filled with emotion and unforgettable memories.
