Welcome to Petroglyph Records

Great art is often born of great suffering, such as suffering caused by political oppression. The people of Chile suffered such oppression for 17 years under the dictatorship of General Pinochet. Today, with a Democratic government supporting the arts, there is a huge rebirth of music in Chile, offering the world a breath-taking array of talent. Years of forced silence are now broken in such stirring and beautiful ways, releasing songs that are born of suffering but rejoice in freedom.

Petroglyph Records’ musicians are the generation of talent that is leading their country in re-establishing this musical identity. Their work reflects influences from around the globe but also the indelible imprint of living in a brutal dictatorship. They are rediscovering the songs and rhythms from the past and blending them with contemporary jazz, rock, blues and electronic music to create something uniquely Chilean.
