Chile Bahá’í Radio: National sound archive of Mapuche culture comes to life

Situated amid communities rich with Mapuche heritage, Radio Bahá’í in Labranza, Chile, has embarked on an extraordinary journey to connect past and present through the power of sound. The recent launch of a national archive project by this radio station has transformed decades of sound recordings into a living repository that reflects the spirit of the Mapuche community.
“The archive goes beyond conservation,” said Nabil Rodríguez, the project’s coordinator. “It harmonizes ancestral knowledge with spiritual principles found in the Bahá’í teachings, aiming to inspire both present and future generations.”
The archive, titled “Oral Heritage of Wallmapu: Identification, Inventory, and Memory of the Mapuche Sound Archive of Radio Bahá’í,” was established in collaboration with the Chilean government’s National Service for Cultural Heritage.
