Chile has developed a culture more connected with the urban and marginal word, which differs from the tradicional model of culture "huasa". Huachaca culture has always exited as a subculture of the official.
Why I am interested in this topic? Because I think huachaca identity is one of the characteristics of Chile and also because huachaca word has reached my ears in so many ways I was born from the curiosity of concentrate and learn more about this subculture nationwide.
Saturday night and the season begins in the Mapocho station, the music sounds like a nice "cumbia"and now some couples are beginning to hit the dance floor to show off their steps. In the environment begin to mix the scents of "antiuchos" "empanadas" y "terremotos".
The atmosphere is fun, many people (mostly older) together with family and friends. Was a very entertaining evening and about two in the morning and no one was sitting, everyone was dancing and of course ... almost everyone in a state of greater happiness due to the magical "terremoto".
From my observation I concluded that night that "huachaca" is not one ordinary person, or alcoholic as I thought, the "huachaca" is a chilean cheerful, loving, who likes family life, caring for his friends, united, solidarity, which is proud to be chilean and above all is a person who enjoys life.
