- Chancho en Piedra
-
Chancho en Piedra is a Chilean Funk-Rock band, considered influential in the popularization of alternative rock in Latin America.[1] They are commonly described as similar to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but are also known for their unique sound and goofy style.[2] Their participation in community related events - playing benefits for the Chilean National Commission of Scientific and Technological Investigation and contributing songs to the popular Chilean children's puppet show 31 Minutos - and their proliferation as artists - having released 11 albums since their debut in 1995 - has gained them widespread familiarity, not only in Latin America but internationally as well, allowing them to perform at Memphis' Beale Street Music Festival in May 2009.[3][4][5][6]
