Viva el 18! Celebrate the Chilean Independence Day with Grupo Araucaria and friends in an evening of traditional music and dances from Chile: "Sin cuecas no es 18". Araucaria has been performing for more than twelve years sharing a distinct sample of dances representing Chile's diverse geography and culture.
Araucaria shares traditional folk dances from Chile, with the diverse community of the Bay Area. Taken from the name of a native tree found in southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego, Araucaria performs dances representative of the cold and rainy region of Chiloe, in the south, the sunny and productive valleys in the central region, the desert and festive andes mountains in the north, and also dances of Easter Island.
