Many musical genres are native to Chile; one of the most popular was the Chilean Romantic [[Cumbia]], exemplified by artists such as [[Americo]] and [[Leo Rey]]. The [[Nueva Canción]] originated in the 1960s and 1970s and spread in popularity until the [[1973 Chilean coup d'état]], when most musicians were arrested, killed or exiled.

In [[Central Chile]], several styles can be found: the [[Cueca]] (the national dance), the ''Tonada'', the ''Refalosa'', the ''Sajuriana'', the [[Zapateado (Mexico)|Zapateado]], the ''Cuando'' and the [[Vals Peruano (Waltz)|Vals]]. In the [[Norte Grande, Chile|Norte Grande]] region traditional music resembles the music of southern Perú and western Bolivia, and is known as [[Andean music]]. This music, which reflects the spirit of the indigenous people of the [[Altiplano]], was an inspiration for the [[Nueva canción]]. 
The [[Chiloé Archipelago]] has unique folk-music styles, due to its isolation from the culture centres of Santiago.

Music from [[Easter Island|Chilean Polynesia]], Rapa Nui music, is derived from Polynesian culture rather than colonial society or European influences.
