Chamamé is a folk dance and music genre from northeastern Argentina but it has gained presence in Chile, particularly among communities of Argentine immigrants in Aysén and Magallanes regions, from the extreme south. This dance embodies a cultural fusion, where the traditional Argentine Chamamé style intertwines with Chilean lyrics, and reflecting the sincretism also in its clothing and performance. The dancers wear outfits that blend indigenous and european items, showing the interconnected heritage of Latin America. Chamamé meetings in Chile serve not only as musical events but also as cultural spaces to honor the "Gaucho lyfestyle". (Sandoval & Núñez, 2022).

Originally, chamamé was developed by rural communities in northeastern Argentina and southern Paraguay, including farmers and Guaraní indigenous groups. Then this tradition moved to other regions like Chile by migrants who preserved and adapted the dance within their communities. At first, it was common to see couples and small groups performing simple, energetic steps at celebrations and family gatherings, where music and dance expressed a strong connection to their cultural roots (Zubieta & Lezcano 2017)
