Chilefornia

Radio Bilingüe presents a special series titled “Chilefornia.” This ten-program cultural series focuses on the contributions of Chilean immigration and kicks off our celebration of National Latino Heritage Month.

In the aftermath of the military coup d’etat against the democratically-elected government of President Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973, thousands of Chileans were forced to live in exile. Facing a prolonged stay abroad, this Chilean diaspora created communities and kept alive their spirit of resistance. In California, the exilees organized community centers and a thriving cultural movement.

“Chilefornia” is a series of ten 30-minute-long programs in Spanish, with the premiere airing on Labor Day, September 3rd, at 9:00 AM PST on Radio Bilingüe. The series will culminate on Friday, September 14th. A repeat of the series will air beginning September 17th at the same time. The series will also be available live on Radio Bilingüe’s webcast service at www.radiobilingue.org. Program topics include:

1. La fiebre del color
2. Joaquín M urr ieta y el roto chileno
3. Chilecito en el Cerro Telégrafo
4. El Tata Fernando Alegría
5. Los cabros estudiantes 1950-1973
6. El tiempo de las flores
7. El exilio chileno: 1973-1989
8. La aventura chilena: 1973-1989

The series was produced by Marci and Ricardo Valdivieso. Marci is a musician, singer and song-writer. She completed Latin American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. She is the daughter of exilee Rafael Manríquez. Ricardo is a sound engineer with more than 20 years experience in the field. He studied at the Conservatory of Music in Valparaiso, Chile, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1993.
