Summary: This article explores the particular features of music practices deployed by musicians in the Bronces Alcones band of Folklore, with particular emphasis on their repertoire. To this end, a review of the historical development of the Bronces bands in northern Grande Chile was carried out and field work was carried out next to that band. They were also considered archaeological, ethnohistorical and ethnographic data on the association between music and ritual in religious ceremonies in the Andes centre-south from pre-hispanic times to the present. It is suggested that, through their musical practices, the Andean Bronces’ bands are involved in the continuity and change of a network of musical, devotional and spatial-temporal relationships, identities and collective memories, which have persisted for a long time in pre-incaic terms and have been a tenuous incorporation of more recent sounds and voices. These practices intersect versatility, tradition and modernity in correspondence relations, as we will review in the case of Alcones del Folklore, during the festivity of Good Spirit, in the village of Jaiña (Tarapacá, Norte Grande de Chile), in 2014 and 2015.
