Javier Farias’ music for Arauco is based on the text “La Araucana”, written by Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga between 1553 and 1557. It is the story of the difficult relationship between the Mapuches (native people of the central-south region of Chile) and the Spanish conquistadores in the 16th century (during the period of the Conquest of Chile). With Arauco, Chilean composer Javier Farias commemorates the heroism of the land itself and the people who live on it.
